Our client, a well-established and growing engineering business based in Manchester, is looking for an experienced Embedded Linux Software Engineer to join their software development team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on complex, physical product-based systems with long product lifecycles, contributing to system architecture and low-level embedded development within a collaborative, technically-driven environment.
You'll be working on resource-constrained embedded platforms, helping shape system architecture, and developing robust, high-quality software for real-world hardware applications.
The Role
As Embedded Linux Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing and developing software for embedded systems, working closely with hardware and firmware teams to deliver reliable, well-architected solutions.
