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.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Edge Computing Skills in 2025/26

Edge computing has emerged as one of the most exciting technology trends of the past decade. By processing data closer to where it is generated — on devices, gateways, or local servers — it reduces latency, saves bandwidth, and enables faster decision-making. It’s what powers everything from autonomous vehicles to real-time healthcare monitoring, smart cities, and industrial IoT. In the UK and globally, demand for edge computing professionals is on the rise. Employers are looking for engineers, architects, and developers who can deploy applications on constrained devices, design resilient distributed systems, and integrate edge infrastructure with the cloud. But here’s the challenge: reading about edge computing won’t get you the job. Employers want to see proof that you’ve built, tested, and deployed at the edge — even if only in simulated environments. The good news? There are many free tools, open-source frameworks, and learning platforms that allow you to practise edge computing in 2025 without needing an enterprise-level budget. This guide covers the best free tools and platforms to practise edge computing skills, how to use them effectively, and how to build portfolio projects that impress recruiters.

Top 10 Skills in Edge Computing According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Edge computing is rapidly transforming how data is processed, analysed, and acted upon—right at the source. Across the UK, sectors such as IoT, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, retail, and healthcare are deploying edge solutions to reduce latency, reduce network load, enhance reliability, and improve privacy. As organisations invest in decentralised architecture, demand for professionals who understand both hardware and software at the network’s edge is soaring. But what skills are employers prioritising in 2025? By analysing job postings from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article distils the Top 10 edge computing skills UK employers are seeking—and how you can showcase them on your CV, in interviews, and through hands-on proof-of-work.

The Future of Edge Computing Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Edge computing is fast becoming one of the most disruptive trends in digital technology. By moving data processing closer to where it is generated—on devices, sensors, and local servers—edge computing reduces latency, cuts bandwidth costs, and enables real-time decision-making. It powers everything from smart factories and self-driving cars to healthcare monitoring and augmented reality. In the UK, edge computing is increasingly important for critical industries: manufacturing, logistics, defence, and healthcare. As 5G networks expand and billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices come online, edge solutions are being deployed nationwide. The UK government’s Digital Strategy and investment in smart infrastructure further highlight the role edge will play in national competitiveness. Yet we are only at the beginning. As edge converges with artificial intelligence, robotics, and quantum technologies, the jobs of tomorrow will look very different. Many of the most vital edge computing jobs of the next two decades don’t exist yet. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
