Senior Software Engineer (Embedded Control – EV)
We’re working with an innovative UK-based electric vehicle company that is rethinking commercial transport from the ground up. This is not a concept-stage business — they already have a working vehicle and are now scaling their technology and team.
They are now looking for a Senior Software Engineer to play a key role in building the software that controls their next-generation electric vehicle platform.
This is a hands-on embedded control role, focused on developing software that directly controls real vehicle systems.
You’ll be involved from early-stage system definition through to implementation, integration and validation — helping shape how the vehicle behaves in the real world.
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.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Develop embedded software in C for real-time systems
- Design and implement control logic for vehicle functions
- Work with CAN and vehicle communication networks
- Support system integration across powertrain and energy systems
- Debug and validate software on real hardware
- Contribute to system architecture and technical decisions
- Collaborate closely with hardware, systems and integration teams
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience in embedded software development
- Experience with real-time systems / RTOS
- Solid understanding of CAN / vehicle communication
- Direct experience working on electrified systems, such as:
- Electric drivetrain / motor / inverter
- Battery systems / BMS
- Vehicle or energy management systems
- Experience working on real hardware systems, not just simulation
- Comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-moving environment
