Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Embedded C++ Engineer to join our team, responsible for developing and optimizing embedded C++ applications across a variety of domains.

Responsibilities

The role will require working on dynamic distributed control systems, signal processing, and low-latency streaming. Driving performance and reliability in real-time applications.

As a Senior Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering high-performance software solutions in a fast-paced but friendly environment. A successful candidate will need to be able to work independently and as part of an agile team (project dependant), while also mentoring junior engineers and contributing to project planning /delivery. Attending customer field trials & technology demonstrations (in the UK and abroad) will also be a key aspect of this role.

Required Qualifications:

? Professional C++ development experience

? Proficient in building and deploying applications on Linux environments

? Strong grasp of safe memory management (RAII, smart pointers) and multithreading best practices

? Skilled at diagnosing and debugging native code using tools like Valgrind and GDB

? Familiarity with build systems (e.g. make / CMake) and cross-compilation toolchains (ARM Linux)

? Self-starter mindset with strong time-management, milestone planning, and independent delivery skills--able to anticipate project needs and plan ahead.

? Capable of cross-domain communication with others, including hardware, firmware and customers.

? Familiarity with containerised development processes.

Nice to haves:

? Low-level networking expertise (e.g., reliable UDP protocols)

? Experience with video codecs and stream optimization, particularly H.264

? Background in real-time or embedded systems development

? Experience, or a willingness to learn about higher level languages (We have a lot of typescript in our deployment processes.)

Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) techniques, including real-time filter design, spectral analysis, and optimized algorithm implementation for audio, video and IQ streams.
