Firmware EngineerHybrid Edinburgh (2 days on-site)Salary: £45,000 - £55,000Job Overview:
An established embedded systems consultancy is looking for a Firmware Engineer to join their team. Youll work across a variety of client projects, developing the low-level software that powers real products - from early prototypes right through to production-ready systems.
The work is hands-on, hardware-focused, and offers plenty of technical variety. Youll be in the office around two days a week for hardware testing, collaboration and project work, with the flexibility to work remotely the rest of the time.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller-based systems.
• Build and test device drivers, hardware interfaces and real-time features.
• Own tasks across the full lifecycle: requirements, design, coding, debugging and system testing.
• Work closely with electronics engineers during bring-up and prototype development.
• Support technical discussions and help shape solutions with internal teams.
• Senior engineers will take on leadership responsibilities - guiding junior engineers, reviewing code, and helping steer technical decisions on projects.

Experience:

• Around 3+ years in embedded or firmware development.
• Strong C or C++ experience.
• Exposure to real-time systems (RTOS or bare-metal).
• Familiar with peripherals and protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, networking etc.).
• Comfortable working through design, implementation and testing.
• Good understanding of embedded development processes.
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach.
• Able to work independently and deliver reliable, well-tested code.

Additional Requirements:

• You must already have the right to work in the UK.
• This is a hybrid role - 2 days per week on-site is required.
