Embedded Software Tech Lead (IC Bring-Up, Pre-Tapeout Validation) Whiteley, Fareham (3 days per week onsite) £80,000 + 10% Bonus This role cannot offer Visa Sponsorship. Your new company You'll be joining the European HQ of a high-growth, innovation-led semiconductor business operating at the forefront of next-gen connectivity technology. The company is pushing technical boundaries, with significant investment into R&D and a clear vision to lead across firmware and software. The role is hybrid and you'll be required to work 3 days onsite in Whiteley. Your new role This is a hands-on Technical Lead position sitting within a specialist Embedded software team, where you will take ownership of a small sub-team of engineers while remaining deeply involved in engineering delivery. You will be responsible for driving the design, development and delivery of low-level Embedded software and firmware for advanced capacitive sensing products, working across the full software life cycle from concept through to production. A key part of the role is technical ownership. This is not a position for someone who has only contributed as an individual contributor. You will bring prior experience leading projects or mentoring engineers, with accountability for delivery, technical direction and quality. While overall team allocation sits with the Software Manager, you'll be the technical authority for your sub-team, guiding architecture decisions, overseeing delivery and supporting engineers day-to-day. From a technical perspective, this is a true Embedded role. You will be working close to the hardware, developing low-level software on boards in a pre-RTOS environment. Strong experience in bare metal development is essential, alongside a solid understanding of IC interaction and Digital Signal Processing concepts. The work combines firmware development in C with higher-level modelling and algorithm development using Python, giving a strong blend of low-level engineering and system-level thinking. The environment is collaborative with a strong engineering culture where people are trusted to take ownership and make a tangible impact on product direction. Despite its growth trajectory, there remains a close-knit feel across teams, with a real emphasis on knowledge sharing and continuous improvement. What you'll need to succeed You will already be operating at Senior/Lead level with 2+ years leadership experience (either mentoring others or leading projects). We are looking for Semiconductor life cycle experience, specifically deep knowledge of IC Bring Up/Pre-Tapeout Validation. You will bring strong experience in Embedded software and firmware development using C, alongside practical experience working at a low level on Embedded targets. A background in Bare Metal development is critical, as is familiarity with working directly with hardware, interfaces and ICs. You will ideally have exposure to DSP or similar signal processing concepts, alongside experience using Python or similar tools for modelling, simulation or data analysis. Beyond technical capability, you will be someone who enjoys leading from the front, able to guide engineers, make decisions and take responsibility for outcomes within a fast-moving product environment. What you'll get in return In return, you'll be joining a business where engineering excellence sits at the core of its success, offering the chance to work on genuinely cutting-edge technology in a role that blends leadership with hands-on development. The package includes a salary of up to £80,000, a 10% annual bonus, private healthcare and a strong range of wellbeing support. The working environment is collaborative and engaging, with modern offices and flexible working hours available. What you need to do now To find out more or to be considered, please apply directly or get in touch for a confidential discussion with Max Wilcock, Senior Business Director. At Hays Technology, we're shaping the future of recruitment. As demand for specialist engineering talent continues to grow, we work closely with organisations and individuals to create opportunities where people can make a real impact. Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and employment business for the supply of temporary workers.

Company Overview Novomorphic is a UK semiconductor and systems design company focused on system-first secure Edge AI. We design and deliver advanced electronics where power, thermal performance, RF behaviour, latency, reliability, and security constraints matter. Our work spans edge AI systems, digital IC design, analogue and mixed-signal systems, FPGA platforms, embedded systems, and compound semiconductor technologies. We work through focused delivery, paid pilots, demonstrators, partner-enabled projects, and CR&D programmes. Our aim is to turn complex technical work into practical engineering outcomes, strong partner confidence, and clear commercial proof-points. We are building Novomorphic from the ground up. We value technical excellence, ownership, curiosity, collaboration, and practical delivery. The Opportunity This is a senior engineering role for an experienced FPGA and embedded systems engineer who enjoys making complex hardware-based systems work in the real world. You will work across FPGA integration, embedded interfaces, board bring-up, testbenches, hardware/software integration, lab debug and prototype stabilisation. The role is suited to candidates who sit comfortably between FPGA design, embedded systems, electronics and practical system delivery. Role Overview Novomorphic is seeking a Senior FPGA & Embedded Systems Engineer to help deliver FPGA-enabled intelligent hardware platforms and embedded electronic systems. This role is different from a pure RTL design role. You will focus on the full system: FPGA logic, embedded processors, firmware interfaces, sensors, memory maps, hardware bring-up, data paths, lab validation and stable prototype delivery. The role combines FPGA engineering, embedded system integration, hardware debug, test automation, technical documentation and close collaboration with digital design, embedded software, AI and hardware teams. What You Will Do FPGA and Embedded System Integration Integrate FPGA logic with embedded processors, firmware, sensors, memories, host interfaces and external hardware. Develop and refine register maps, memory maps, control interfaces and hardware/software APIs. Implement or support RTL blocks, integration wrappers, interface logic and data movement paths. Support timing, latency, determinism and resource trade-offs in FPGA-enabled systems. Work with embedded firmware engineers to bring up drivers, HALs, diagnostics and control interfaces. Support system-level integration across FPGA, embedded software, AI models, analogue hardware and power electronics. Produce clear interface documentation, bring-up notes, test procedures and review material. Bring-Up, Debug and Validation Bring up FPGA development boards, prototype PCBs and hardware demonstrators in the lab. Create practical testbenches, simulations, regression checks and hardware validation scripts.

We Value Engineers Who Take ownership and follow through. Enjoy solving difficult engineering problems. Are curious, practical, and willing to learn quickly. Can work independently without disappearing into a silo. Collaborate well with engineers from different disciplines. Communicate clearly, especially when raising risks or blockers. Are comfortable in a start-up environment where priorities can move quickly. Want to build real engineering capability, not just write documents or papers. What Success Looks Like Early success in this role means: Strong engagement with onboarding, lab work and project delivery. High-quality delivery on assigned FPGA integration, bring-up, test or documentation tasks. Active participation in debug reviews, design reviews and multidisciplinary engineering discussions. Growing ownership of FPGA-enabled embedded systems and prototype stability. Improved bring-up speed, test repeatability and system-level delivery confidence. Meaningful contribution to customer projects, internal platforms and funded innovation programmes. Why Join Novomorphic? At Novomorphic, you will: Work on next-generation semiconductor, edge AI, FPGA and intelligent hardware technologies.
