Description

Embedded Software Engineer – SPX Radiodetection, Bristol (Hybrid Role)

Are you passionate about embedded software development? Do you want to be part of a cutting-edge engineering team working on innovative locator products? SPX Radiodetection is looking for a talented Embedded Firmware Engineer to join our multidisciplinary Bristol-based team.

About the Role

You’ll play a vital role in designing, developing, and maintaining embedded firmware for our real-time, DSP-focused hardware platforms. This is a hybrid position, with office days on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, offering a great work-life balance. You’ll work on both sustaining existing products and exciting New Product Introductions (NPI).

What You’ll Do

Develop and debug embedded firmware using C/C++ on DSP and microcontroller platforms (e.g., TMS320, MSP430).
Bring up, configure, and test DSP/microcontroller-based platforms through the full product lifecycle — from specification and prototyping to production and support.
Work closely with hardware and test teams to resolve integration issues and improve product quality.
Investigate and resolve firmware issues found during testing, production, or in the field.
Provide accurate effort estimations, identify risks, and propose mitigation strategies.
Contribute to research and innovation projects to push the boundaries of locator technology.
Participate in technical peer reviews to maintain high code quality and standards.

What We’re Looking For

Experience in embedded firmware design.
Strong C/C++ skills for real-time, embedded development with experience in device driver and peripheral code debugging.
Solid understanding of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, with experience in driver development.
Experience with wired communications such as USB and device interfacing via UART, I2C, SPI.
Familiarity with version control (Git) and issue tracking tools (JIRA).
Experience using embedded design tools such as Code Composer Studio or Visual Studio.
Experience with embedded Qt for microcontroller units (non-Linux) is highly desirable.

Bonus Skills: Wireless protocols (GSM, WiFi), bootloader development, GNSS/GPS technologies, Agile methodologies, signal processing, embedded Linux, Qt/QML, Android development, and continuous integration (e.g., Jenkins).

Why Join SPX Radiodetection?

As a permanent member of our team, you’ll enjoy:

A competitive salary with an annual bonus scheme
25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase an additional 5 days
Employer pension contributions
Cycle to work scheme and free parking
Electric car scheme
A supportive hybrid working environment based in Bristol
