About The Role
We are looking for Embedded Software Engineers to build the low-level intelligence that powers OmniBuds’ in-ear sensing platform. You will work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and sensing—developing robust, real-time embedded systems for medical-grade wearable devices operating in noisy, real-world conditions.
What you’ll do
- Develop and maintain embedded firmware for in-ear earable devices (MCUs, sensors, BLE).
- Implement real-time data acquisition pipelines for multimodal sensors (PPG, IMU, microphones, temperature).
- Optimise power consumption, latency, and memory for continuous sensing workloads.
- Work closely with hardware teams on board bring-up, debugging, and system integration.
- Support prototyping, testing, and validation in lab and clinical study settings.
- Contribute to reliability, safety, and robustness of long-running wearable systems.
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.
