Job Description
An opportunity has arisen in the Engineering organisation for a Software/Firmware Engineer within the Secure Devices team, developing security products for Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).
We are looking for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, learning new technologies, and working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary engineering team based at the NCR Atleos Discovery Centre R&D site in Dundee.
You will be part of a team responsible for delivering high quality software for ATM security related modules, including Encrypting Pin Pads, Card Readers, and Anti-Fraud devices.
The successful candidate will be part of an engineering group with development teams in global locations. As a software engineer in the team you will be responsible for working alongside fellow Engineers on development projects, investigating and resolving technical issues with the support of experienced engineers, and supporting the team to ensure customer commitments and goals are met. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate flexibility in response to changing priorities and requirements.
The role involves both firmware and software development, with opportunities to gain experience across a range of technologies and platforms. Experience with one or more of C, C++, or C# is required. Exposure to embedded systems, Python, Rust, USB, I2C, RTOS, cryptography, CI/CD tools, or source control systems would be beneficial but is not essential.
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.
