KO2's client is a well-established, design consultancy specialising in bespoke embedded electronic product design. Known for high-quality engineering across a wide range of applications, they combine in-house product development with custom design work, giving engineers exposure to varied, technically challenging projects across the full product lifecycle.
They're now looking for a Mid to Senior Electronics Engineer with strong embedded software experience to join their growing team.
This is a hands-on role sitting right at the hardware–software boundary — covering everything from schematic capture and PCB design through to board bring-up and embedded C development, on complex embedded systems including both microcontroller and application processor-based designs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing
- Designing analogue and digital electronics, including PCB layout
- Bringing up new hardware and debugging at board level using embedded software
- Developing embedded C code to support hardware validation and functionality
- Working across the full product lifecycle, from concept through to production
- Contributing to a range of projects, including next-generation embedded and IoT-style systems
What they're looking for
- Strong experience in analogue and digital circuit design
- Confidence with board bring-up and debugging using embedded C
- Experience with common interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, CAN
- Comfortable working with microcontrollers (e.g. ARM Cortex-M) and ideally application processors
- Adaptable, with the ability to pick up new technologies as needed (e.g. Linux, FPGA, or higher-level software)

Desirable:
- RTOS experience
- Mains-powered design / power supply experience
- Experience with single board computers or similar embedded platforms
- Exposure to production or manufacturing environments
This role is based on-site, reflecting the hands-on nature of the work — particularly hardware development and lab-based testing.
If you're an engineer who thrives across both electronics and embedded software and want to join a business where your work genuinely makes an impact, this one's well worth exploring.
