Technical Futures Ltd · Cambridge

Design, build and test embedded systems across robotics, sensing, communications and IoT, working on Linux-based systems, bare-metal, RTOS, device drivers, algorithms and protocols. You'll join a multi-disciplinary consultancy team supporting projects from concept to delivery alongside FPGA and electronics engineers, with hybrid working (3 days office, 2 WFH).

Ernest Gordon Recruitment · Dundee · £75,000 – £80,000 pa

Designs electronic devices for a range of IoT products, using Altium for PCB design and layouts while collaborating with other engineers on complex technical challenges. The role is purely R&D-focused, working on wearables, access control, metering systems and next-generation products for sectors like MedTech, telecoms and smart energy.

Amazon · Cambridge

Develops low-level embedded software for privacy services, hypervisors, and IoT devices such as Ring and Blink products, working on operating systems, device drivers, and security measures. The role spans the full development lifecycle on large-scale distributed systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams. Positions are matched to teams based on experience and location preferences, and are explicitly not remote.

Ernest Gordon Recruitment · Ireland · £50,000 – £55,000 pa

Hands-on field role configuring, commissioning and troubleshooting sensors, instrumentation and industrial IoT gateways and edge devices on customer sites. Works closely with software developers to ensure field data is transmitted, processed and displayed correctly, covering the full lifecycle from evaluating new sensors to diagnosing connectivity and communication faults.

Cortech Talent Solutions · Glasgow · £40,000 – £65,000 pa

Design, build and debug embedded software and firmware for aquaculture monitoring and control systems, including sensor integration, water quality and biomass devices in demanding marine environments.
