Leen lane, Chester
£60,000 - 60,000
Requirements
Must:
We are looking for a talented Embedded Systems Reliability Engineer who holds a degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, or has equivalent working experience. You must be proficient in modern C++ (C++17 or newer) for embedded and cross-platform desktop development. Strong scripting experience in Python and Bash for tooling and test automation is essential, alongside familiarity with CMake, make, and CI/CD systems such as GitLab CI or Azure Pipelines. Additionally, experience with Docker for embedded software builds and containerized testing is required. You should be confident in debugging across firmware, OS, and application layers and have a deep understanding of Embedded Linux (Buildroot), system configuration, and device-level development. It is also important to be familiar with MQTT and messaging protocols used in distributed systems, as well as having experience with Qt and GUI development for Windows and Linux environments. A working knowledge of observability concepts, incident response, and long-term reliability strategies is a plus, as is exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and embedded diagnostics.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will investigate and resolve complex bugs across embedded and desktop systems, implementing fixes and systemic quality improvements. You will develop and maintain tools for automated testing, diagnostics, and release validation using Python and Bash. Enhancing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for embedded firmware (Buildroot/make) and desktop applications (CMake/Qt), while integrating quality gates and static analysis, will also be part of your responsibilities. You will define, monitor, and drive improvements against key reliability metrics, such as crash frequency, memory stability, and startup success. Improving diagnostic visibility through structured logging, crash data capture, and telemetry via MQTT is crucial. Additionally, you will collaborate with hardware, software, and test engineers to embed quality and reliability throughout the development lifecycle.
Description
We are excited to offer this opportunity within our rapidly growing global energy consultancy based in Cheshire. The position requires a 50/50 split between site and home, and sponsorship is available. The salary for this role is up to £60,000, depending on experience. We also provide career development opportunities and generous benefits, including 25 days of annual leave (FTE) plus bank holidays, with an additional day off for every three years completed (up to a maximum of 30 days). You will have the option to buy an additional 5 days of leave, as well as pension contributions of 8% from the employer, group life insurance, income protection, critical illness cover, and private medical insurance.
