Embedded System Engineer

We are looking for a Senior/Lead Embedded Systems & FPGA Engineer to join a growing engineering team developing complex, high-performance embedded hardware and software security systems.

This is a highly hands-on role covering Embedded Linux, FPGA development, firmware and hardware/software integration, with the opportunity to work across the full technology stack from low-level platform development through to system integration and testing.

The Role

• Develop and maintain Embedded Linux BSPs, including kernel configuration, device trees and board bring-up.
• Develop Linux device drivers and kernel modules for custom hardware and FPGA peripherals.
• Develop low-level firmware and middleware using C/C++.
• Design and integrate FPGA/RTL solutions using VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Integrate FPGA IP and define hardware/software interfaces.
• Support FPGA simulation, verification, synthesis, timing and in-system debugging.
• Configure bootloaders and embedded Linux root filesystems.
• Develop userspace applications and automated hardware test tools.
• Debug complex hardware/software/FPGA interactions using laboratory equipment and protocol analysers.
• Contribute to system architecture, technical documentation and interface specifications.

What We are Looking For

• 6+ years' experience in embedded systems, FPGA development or mixed hardware/software engineering.
• Strong experience with Embedded Linux, particularly BSPs, kernel drivers, device trees and bootloaders.
• Strong C/C++ programming skills.
• Practical experience with FPGA development and RTL design.
• Hands-on experience debugging embedded hardware and software.
• Comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries in a fast-moving engineering environment.

Nice to Have

• Zephyr or FreeRTOS experience.
• Xilinx/AMD SoC platforms and toolchains.
• Python, Bash or TCL scripting.
• Experience with PCIe, DDR, Ethernet or DSP technologies.
• Rust experience.
