We are currently seeking an embedded Software Engineer to join our talented team and contribute to delivering exceptional solutions for our clients.
You'll join a multidisciplinary team developing a greenfield medical device from the ground up.
Day to day, your focus will be designing and implementing microcontroller based systems in embedded C/C++. You'll sit alongside hardware, Linux, UI and test engineers and have the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to a medical device project.
You'll have a team of Senior Software Engineers around you who'll mentor you throughout. Due to the nature of Ensera Design's work, you'll have the opportunity to either branch out into other specialisms or go deeper into the one you're already in.
About youYou're an engineer who has worked across safety critical systems and/or medical devices in the past with a desire to develop using embedded C/C++ targeting STM32 ARM microcontrollers or similar platforms. You'll be a strong communicator with a desire to share knowledge and mentor junior members of the team - you'll also be mentored by experienced engineers who have grown with the business.
You'll be interested in working on safety critical applications across the full development lifecycle and in accordance with safety and reliability standards such as IEC 62304.
What you'll doYou don't need to tick every box but if you hit most of the essentials, we'd love to hear from you.
EssentialThe salary for this role is up to £53,000, in line with our Consultant band (£40,800 to £53,000). We ask you to provide your expected salary within the band as part of your application.
