Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer
Basingstoke – Hybrid working
Neupulse is at a turning point.
Our wearable neurostimulation device is launching commercially.
At the heart of that device is firmware. We're looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to own it.
The role
Today, our device development is largely handled by an external partner. You'll be our internal technical authority for it — working hand in hand with that partner to keep firmware reliable and compliant now, while building the pathway to bring that capability in-house over time.
It's hands-on, safety-critical work on a device people wear every day: C/C++ on STM32, FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex-M, low-power and battery-operated, talking to iOS and Android over BLE.
You'll:
- Own the firmware relationship with our external development partner — direction, reviews, quality, and the verification and release evidence that stands up to regulatory scrutiny
- Build the pathway to bring firmware capability in-house — deciding what to internalise and when, and growing the team to do it
- Stay hands-on and set the standard: production-quality firmware, reusable frameworks, coding practices and reviews across current and future products
- Own security — threat assessment, vulnerability management, and secure device updates
- Work shoulder to shoulder with hardware, software, quality and regulatory, keeping everything traceable and compliant with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304
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.
You'll likely bring
- 5+ years delivering embedded firmware through the full product lifecycle, with a track record of robust releases and clean documentation
- Strong experience with FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex-M in safety-critical settings
- Real depth in low-power, battery-operated devices that communicate with mobile over BLE
- 3+ years in a regulated industry — medical device and IEC 62304 ideally
- The credibility to direct an external development partner today, and the appetite to build and lead an in-house capability tomorrow
- Fluency in C/C++, embedded architecture, modular design, and disciplined Git-based workflows
- A security mindset for embedded firmware (a genuine plus)

Why it matters
This is firmware that ends up on someone's body, helping them through their day — so reliable, safe, and quietly life-improving really matters.
You'll own how it's built, from working with our external partner today to standing up the in-house capability tomorrow, and watch the impact land with real people.
Location
Hybrid role based in Basingstoke, with regular on-site collaboration expected.
