Contract Embedded Software Engineer - C/C

Redline Group are supporting a global engineering organisation developing safety-critical electronic products used by customers worldwide. They are looking for an experienced Contract Embedded Software Engineer - C/C++ based in Cwmbran, Wales, to play a key role in the development of their next generation of embedded products.

This is a senior, hands-on contract role for an engineer who enjoys getting into the detail. You'll work across complex embedded systems, influence technical decisions and solve challenging software and system-level problems alongside experienced electronics, firmware and software engineers.

This role will not accept candidates operating via a PSC; you will therefore need to operate via an Umbrella company.

What you'll be doing:

Developing and delivering embedded software solutions using C/C++. Working with microcontrollers, RTOS and embedded systems. Translating product requirements and feature requests into clear engineering and software requirements. Contributing to system and software architecture across complex electronic products. Reviewing and challenging designs throughout development, test and delivery. Supporting technology and component decisions, including processors and associated hardware. Solving complex technical issues across software, firmware and electronics. Assessing existing platforms and identifying where new development or architectural changes are required. Working closely with electronics, firmware, Product Management, Programme Management, Quality, Manufacturing, Sourcing and Certification teams.

What we're looking for:

Strong embedded C/C++ development experience. Good experience working with microcontrollers and RTOS. Proven experience developing software for complex embedded electronic products. Strong understanding of the interaction between software, firmware and electronics. Experience translating specifications into clear software/system requirements and technical solutions. Strong debugging and hands-on technical problem-solving skills. The technical credibility to challenge designs and contribute to engineering decisions. Experience working within multidisciplinary product development environments.

This contract would particularly suit an experienced Embedded Software Engineer who wants more than a coding-only role and enjoys having genuine influence over how complex embedded products are designed and delivered.
