YT Technologies Opportunity
YT Technologies has partnered with a premier, highly successful manufacturer of medical devices and life-changing mechatronic products. They are looking for their first dedicated Senior Embedded Software Specialist to act as the primary software authority within their multidisciplinary engineering hub in Leeds.
This isn't a role where you sit in a silo waiting for a tight corporate brief. You will be the sole internal software specialist, working directly alongside mechanical and electronics engineers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Firmware Architecture & Maintenance: Design, write, and maintain robust embedded C/C++ firmware for life-changing physical devices.
- In-House Transition: Proactively manage the technical relationship with external contractors, systematically absorbing and transferring the codebase back in-house.
- Process & Tooling Setup: Take total ownership of the software lifecycle, including source control management (GitLab setup), risk assessments, and software documentation standards.
- Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Act as the voice of software in the room, working closely with hardware teams and using electronic test equipment (Oscilloscopes) to debug your own work.
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.

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- A True Greenfield Opportunity: Build the internal software engineering process, infrastructure, and tools entirely in your own vision with zero legacy friction.
- Products that Matter: Work in a highly rewarding field where your code directly impacts human mobility and improves lives every single day.
- No Corporate Red Tape: Join a tight-knit, collaborative team of three (with plans to scale) where high-quality technical output and passion are valued over corporate box-ticking.
Requirements:
- Embedded Competence: 5+ years of experience writing C/C++ for embedded systems, with a solid grasp of microcontrollers and live sensor data/motor control (Mechatronics).
- The "Big Picture" Mindset: You are looking to genuinely own a product line, not just write isolated code and walk away.
- Regulatory Rigor: Comfortable working within a structured, regulated framework (Medical, Aerospace, Defence, etc.) where risk-assessment and structured documentation are treated as core disciplines.
- Communication Depth: Because you will be working with a non-software engineering lead, you must be a thoughtful communicator who can confidently explain software architectures to non-expert audiences.
- Commute Realism: Comfortable with a hybrid model requiring 2 days a week on-site in Leeds to collaborate face-to-face and work hands-on with physical product hardware.
