Job Description

Abelon Systems are an Edinburgh based Embedded Systems Design Consultancy and we are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic embedded firmware developer to join our team.

We are seeking a talented Firmware Engineer or Senior Firmware Engineer to join our embedded design consultancy in a dynamic hybrid role that blends office-based teamwork with the flexibility of remote working.

In this position, you'll have the opportunity to work across a wide range of sectors and technologies, from consumer products to industrial systems, tackling unique technical challenges and shaping innovative solutions.

As part of a consultancy environment, you'll also collaborate directly with clients--helping to define requirements, solve complex problems, and deliver high-quality embedded designs that make a real impact.

Because close collaboration and knowledge sharing are key to our success, regular office presence is essential, and fully remote working is not feasible. If you're looking for a role that combines hands-on technical variety with meaningful client interaction, this could be the ideal next step in your career.

:

The position will cover the entire embedded software design and test life-cycle, involving the design and implementation of software for embedded devices and systems, from requirements gathering through to production and commercial deployment.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of industry sectors as our client and project list is wide and varied.

Good Honours and/or post graduate qualification in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Physics or Mathematics with relevant Software Engineering component.
