Embedded Software Engineer | Outside IR35 | Cambridge

The client is looking for specialist embedded software development services to deliver defined firmware components for an embedded Linux platform.

They are looking for multiple software engineers, so I encourage you to apply if you have any recent experience developing software on an embedded Linux platform.

Scope of Services

  • Development of embedded Linux firmware for target hardware platforms (OMAP & iMX6), including kernel configuration, BSP updates, and device driver enablement
  • Implementation of software required to support platform bring-up and peripheral integration (e.g. UART, SPI, I2C, PCIe)
  • Integration of firmware into the wider system, ensuring compatibility with existing software components
  • Investigation and resolution of technical issues relating to firmware, including hardware/software interaction faults
  • Production of supporting artefacts (design documentation, test specifications, and release notes)

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
