Firmware Developer - Remote, once a month on site (South Birmingham HQ)

We are seeking a skilled Firmware Developer with 4–5 years of experience in C programming and embedded PCB board development to join a highly experienced Product Development team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, testing, and optimizing firmware for sensor devices, ensuring reliable and efficient performance in real-world applications.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, enhance, and maintain firmware for embedded systems, focusing on sensor control and data communication.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure seamless firmware integration with PCB designs.
• Implement and optimize drivers and communication protocols (e.g. UART, I2C, SPI) and low-level system functions.
• Debug, test, and validate firmware on target hardware to maintain reliability and performance.
• Write clean, well-documented code and participate in code reviews to uphold best practices.

Qualifications:

• Proficiency in C programming for embedded systems.
• Familiarity with microcontrollers (e.g. STM32, ESP32, or similar) and their development environments.
• Hands-on experience with communication protocols (e.g. USB, UART, I2C, SPI).
• Strong understanding of real-time data processing and low-level firmware architecture.
• Knowledge of hardware debugging tools (e.g. oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g. Git).
• Effective communication skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with sensor calibration, data acquisition, or telemetry systems.
• Familiarity with low-power embedded systems.
• Knowledge of C++ or Python for test automation or tooling is a plus.
• Experience with remote device management or over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates.
• Experience with embedded PCB board development (schematics, board bring-up, and debugging).
