IP KVM Engineer/Developer - Embedded Systems (£60,000 - £70,000 + Excellent Benefits)

Job Description

Excellent opportunity for an experienced IP KVM Engineer to join our Client's growing team. You will have a deep understanding of embedded systems development including design and implementation of IP-based KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) functionality for embedded hardware platforms. You will work on developing low-level software for video capture, compression, streaming, and input redirection to enable remote system access and management.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about systems-level programming, embedded Linux, and network-enabled remote control solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement IP KVM features in embedded environments, including video capture, encoding, and remote user input redirection.
Develop and maintain firmware and drivers for video input devices, USB HID emulation, and network transport protocols.
Work with BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) platforms to integrate IP KVM functionality into server and edge devices.
Interface with Linux framebuffer, DRM, or other video subsystems to capture and stream screen output.
Ensure robust and secure communication over IP using encryption and authentication mechanisms.
Debug and profile low-level system issues, working closely with hardware and software teams.Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in embedded systems development, particularly in low-level C/C++ programming.
Solid understanding of USB HID device emulation, input redirection, and peripheral control.
Proficient in embedded Linux development and working with device trees, kernel modules, and video drivers.
Familiarity with networking protocols (TCP/IP, RTP, RTSP, TLS) in embedded environments

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising edge computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.
