Senior Embedded Software Test Engineer

One of the UK's top Tech Organisations is looking for a Senior Embedded Software Test Engineer to join their Edinburgh-based office on a hybrid basis (2 days per week).

They are one of the UK's leading companies in supplying top-of-the-range hardware and software to some of the most well-known tech giants. They've been operating for over 40 years and are recognised worldwide - it's an extremely established organisation and environment.

You would be working alongside the industry's top engineering minds, working on cutting-edge solutions for their leading global consumer brands. This company has an award-winning culture and has created an environment where innovation and employee satisfaction are equal.

Your role

You would be helping to drive the testing process for their products, leading the end-to-end testing processes for Embedded software.

You'll collaborate with multiple teams to create and execute effective testing strategies, ensuring software is reliable and meets industry standards.

You will be involved in the testing throughout the product life cycle, conducting and analysing tests during all stages of development. Designing and implementing test plans which cover all necessary aspects (Black Box, White Box, Stress, Long duration, System test, etc.) - including automation to increase efficiency.

The team thrives on solving complex technical challenges, and you will collaborate closely with software teams to identify and fix issues, while acting as the main liaison with other teams.

You'll ideally have the following:

• Strong knowledge of Embedded systems and RTOS
• Experience with MCU/DSP processors
• Strong leadership experience - evidence delivering on projects
• Scripting experience (Python/Shell/C/C++ etc.)
• Automation experience
• Any experience with Jira/Git/CI Systems (e.g., Jenkins) would be a bonus!

The company has a great culture (and a solid Glassdoor page to boast) it's highly unlikely anyone has a short stint here as many of the Engineering team have been with the business for several years. They are great at offering Engineers opportunities for upskilling, L&D, career progression, and really respecting their employees' work-life balance.

They are offering a strong salary (happy to provide full info prior to application) for this role + a range of strong benefits (8% Bonus, 8% Pension, 33 days holiday package, and a good training budget to match). Their offices are based in central Edinburgh, where they would expect you onsite about twice a week; however, they really do have a world-class setup, with their own top-of-the-range gym, sound-proofed music room, and so much more.
