Embedded Software Engineer – Embedded Linux & MCU

Location: South of Cambridge, UK (good road/rail access)

Type: Permanent, Full-Time

Overview:

A leading UK engineering consultancy is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with strong experience in embedded Linux and broader embedded systems. The role offers exposure to diverse projects across sensing, robotics, communications, and IoT, with opportunities to work on both Linux-based systems and bare-metal/RTOS environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Contribute to projects from concept through to delivery across multiple sectors, including industrial, defence, and medical.

Develop software on embedded Linux systems (Arm-based SoCs) and maintain custom Linux images (Yocto, device trees, kernel/user space).

Develop on RTOS and bare-metal systems across multiple silicon vendors (e.g., STMicroelectronics, Microchip).

Support system bring-up, board integration, debugging, and performance optimisation.

Collaborate closely with FPGA, electronics, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Participate in project planning, documentation, and maintaining good software engineering practices.

Candidate Requirements:

Proven embedded Linux development experience, including Yocto, SoC platforms, and device-tree knowledge.

Strong C/C++ skills; real-time embedded development experience desirable.

Ability to adapt to new technologies and a motivation to work in a consultancy environment.

Experience with higher-level languages for tooling/test automation (e.g., Python, C#/.NET) is a plus.

Broader embedded experience (RTOS, bare-metal, hardware interfacing, DSP, protocols, state machines) advantageous.

Capable of diagnosing complex system-level issues and reading electronics schematics.

Strong communication skills and ability to produce technical documentation.

Benefits & Culture:

Competitive salary and excellent package.

Stimulating consultancy environment with variety and new challenges.

Support for career progression and professional development.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.
