The Role:

You’ll be responsible for designing and developing embedded software for devices built around ARM-based microprocessors. Your work will involve real-time operating systems (ideally Zephyr), wireless protocols like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and collaboration with hardware and systems teams to deliver robust, well-integrated solutions. Proficiency in C is essential, and any knowledge of C#, JavaScript, or HTML is a welcome bonus.

What You'll Do:

  • Develop and maintain embedded software using C for real-time systems.

  • Work on wireless communications including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee.

  • Collaborate with hardware and solutions teams on system requirements and integration.

  • Support testing, debugging, and documentation of software systems.

  • Stay up to date with industry trends and contribute to ongoing innovation.

    What You'll Need:

  • A degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

  • Demonstrable experience in embedded software development.

  • Strong understanding of RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, etc.) and ARM platforms.

  • Familiarity with version control systems like Git.

  • Good problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

    Desirable:

  • Experience with secure coding practices and Linux-based development.

  • Basic knowledge of web technologies (JavaScript, HTML).

How to Get a Better Edge Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from an edge computing role can feel like a serious setback—especially in a field as specialised and rapidly evolving as distributed computing. But edge computing remains a key growth area in the UK tech economy, with applications in autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, smart cities, telecoms, and defence. Whether you’re a cloud-edge integration engineer, embedded systems developer, IoT specialist, or network architect, there are real opportunities to reposition your career after redundancy. This guide offers a practical UK-focused plan to help you relaunch your career with confidence.

Edge Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads edge‑computing professionals today Ask an Edge Software Engineer debugging container images on a factory floor, an IoT Solutions Architect jostling latency and security, or a DevOps Lead deploying micro‑VMs on 5G towers: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes faster than the firmware you flashed last sprint. Retail chains move inferencing to store servers, autonomous vehicle start‑ups hoard FPGA talent, telcos monetise network slices, & every new use‑case nudges salary bands. A PDF survey printed in 2024 is already fossilised—missing the GPU shortages, fresh EU edge‑security directives, and the UK government’s Zero‑Carbon Edge computing grants that landed this spring. To give professionals an up‑to‑date benchmark, EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority, and you’ll get a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces driving pay higher, and lays out five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.

How to Present Edge Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed, analysed, and acted upon—bringing intelligence closer to the source. But despite its growing relevance across sectors like manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and transport, many decision-makers still don’t understand what edge computing is—let alone why it matters. As a job seeker in the edge computing space, your ability to explain this technology clearly is a crucial skill. Whether you're applying for a role in edge architecture, IoT development, 5G networks, or AI at the edge, you’ll likely be asked to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences during interviews or in the role itself. This guide will help you deliver compelling presentations that demystify edge computing—offering structure, visual design tips, storytelling strategies, and proven methods for answering tough stakeholder questions.
