We are seeking a highly skilled Model-Based Embedded Software Engineer to support the development of embedded control systems for off-highway equipment, including construction, agricultural, material-handling, and other heavy-duty machines. This role combines strong model-based design expertise with deep understanding of system requirements, safety expectations, and integration testing in rugged, real-world operating environments. You will be comfortable bridging software, electronics, and machine-level behaviours in complex hydraulic, electric, and powertrain systems. Embedded Software Engineer Role: Model-Based Control Software Development Design, develop, and maintain embedded control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink, tailored to off-highway systems (e.g., hydraulics, driveline, powertrain, implement control). Perform model simulation, verification, and optimisation to meet machine performance targets. Support auto-code generation and calibration activities for production-grade embedded controllers. Requirements Management & Traceability Capture, refine, validate, and maintain requirements using JAMA, ensuring full traceability from stakeholder needs through to verification. Collaborate with system engineers, product owners, and machine teams to ensure clarity, feasibility, and alignment of requirements. Translate machine-level behaviours into robust software requirements. System Integration & Verification Develop and execute Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) tests to validate behaviour early in the development cycle. Support machine-level integration testing, including CAN-based debugging and analysis using tools such as CANalyzer. Drive issue resolution through structured analysis of field data, test logs, and system interactions. Work closely with HIL platforms where required to replicate machine scenarios. Functional Safety & Compliance Apply functional safety principles in line with ISO 13849, with awareness of Performance Levels and system safety architectures used in off-highway machinery. Support safety documentation, validation activities, and risk assessments for safety-related features. Cross-Functional Collaboration Interface with mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and system engineering teams to ensure cohesive full-machine system design. Participate in design reviews, DFMEAs, and hazard analyses related to machine functionality and operator safety. Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes, toolchains, and modelling standards. Embedded Software Engineer Requirements: Strong capability in MATLAB/Simulink, including model architecture, simulation, and MBD workflows. Hands-on experience with JAMA, JIRA, and structured requirements management. Proficient with CANalyzer or equivalent tools for CAN-based diagnostics and communication analysis. Competency in executing and interpreting SIL tests and system integration results. Understanding of functional safety principles and ISO 13849. Understanding of off-highway machinery systems (e.g., hydraulics, propulsion, control interfaces, operator inputs). Appreciation of machine architectures including ECUs, sensors, actuators, networks, and safety functions. Familiarity with environmental challenges relevant to off-highway: vibration, temperature extremes, dust, EMC, etc. Strong documentation, communication, and requirements-focused mindset. Ability to work effectively with cross-disciplinary engineering teams. Excellent analytical thinking, problem-solving, and debugging capability. Proactive, structured, and quality-focused approach. Familiarity with hydraulics and machine control systems architecture. Knowledge of ISO 19014, ISO 25119, or ISO 26262. Experience with embedded C/C++ for debugging or interfacing. Exposure to electrified powertrain systems used in modern off-highway equipment. Embedded Software Engineer Applications: This vacancy is only available to Candidates with relevant experience as detailed in the job description.
