Firmware Engineer

We’re looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our clients growing engineering team. If you have solid experience developing software for real-time systems and a good understanding of hardware and wireless communications, this could be a great fit.

You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering embedded software that powers our next-generation products—working closely with hardware engineers and product teams to bring innovative solutions to life.

What You’ll Be Doing:
Designing and implementing embedded software for ARM-based platforms, ideally using Zephyr or another RTOS.
Developing and optimising wireless communication features (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee).
Writing efficient, reliable C code for embedded systems, following best practices (MISRA knowledge is a plus).
Supporting application development on Linux-based systems for simulation and testing.
Working with cross-functional teams to define system architecture and software requirements.
Maintaining clear documentation and contributing to software quality through reviews and testing.What We’re Looking For:
Strong experience in embedded C programming with RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, or similar).
A good understanding of hardware and how software interacts with it.
Exposure to web-based tech like JavaScript and HTML is useful, especially for UI or monitoring interfaces.
Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git) and embedded development environments.
An understanding of security in embedded systems (e.g., encrypted communications, secure boot).
Proactive problem-solver who can work independently and as part of a team.Qualifications:
Degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
3+ years of professional experience in embedded systems development.
Previous work on consumer products, IoT devices, or other real-world embedded applications is an advantage.What You’ll Get:
Competitive salary and full benefits package.
Flexible hybrid working and a positive work-life balance.
A chance to work on interesting projects with real-world impact.
Supportive team culture with opportunities to grow your skills and career.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Edge Computing Jobs Hub

Edge computing is one of the most important technological shifts of the decade. As connected devices, sensors, and the Internet of Things (IoT) generate massive volumes of data, centralised cloud computing alone cannot always keep up. Businesses and governments need faster processing, lower latency, and secure, real-time insights. Edge computing—where data is processed closer to where it is generated—is the answer. From autonomous vehicles and smart cities to advanced healthcare and industrial automation, edge computing underpins the next wave of digital transformation. For professionals, this means an entirely new field of opportunity. Edge computing requires engineers, architects, analysts, cyber security specialists, and operations staff with highly specialised skills. The United Kingdom is particularly well-positioned to become a global edge computing jobs hub. With its strong infrastructure, thriving tech ecosystem, leading universities, and government commitment to digital innovation, the UK has many of the ingredients necessary to lead. This article explores why the UK could claim global leadership in edge computing careers, the sectors driving demand, and what must happen to make this vision a reality.
