Senior Software Engineer
£44,000 - 84,000
Tualcom UK Limited
Greenwich View Place 5-6, Sandford
£44,000 - 84,000
Requirements
Must:
- Proven experience in embedded software with strong C/C++ on MCUs.
- Demonstrable experience implementing Kalman filtering / estimation / sensor fusion in real systems (not just academic).
- Strong understanding of:
- Linear algebra basics used in filtering (matrices, covariance propagation)
- Noise modeling, sensor errors, bias, drift, calibration concepts
- Real-time embedded constraints (scheduling, interrupts, deterministic timing)
- Debugging skills using common embedded tools (e.g., JTAG/SWD, logic analyzer basics, gdb, tracing).
- Hands-on experience with STM32 family (CubeMX/CubeIDE, HAL/LL, FreeRTOS a plus).
- Experience on ARM Cortex-M (M4/M7) and use of FPU, CMSIS, CMSIS-DSP.
- Preferable: Prior navigation / inertial work:
- Attitude estimation (quaternions, DCM)
- IMU pre-integration, bias estimation
- GNSS-IMU fusion, dead-reckoning, ZUPT, etc.
- Preferable: Familiarity with verification methods (Monte Carlo sim, recorded dataset replay, HIL rigs).
- Experience with version control and CI basics (SVN, code reviews).
Responsibilities
- Implement, tune, and maintain Kalman filter (EKF/UKF or classical KF) pipelines for navigation/estimation.
- Develop production-grade embedded C/C++ firmware on ARM Cortex-M, preferably STM32.
- Integrate and process sensor data (typical: IMU accelerometer/gyro, magnetometer, barometer, GNSS, wheel/odometry as applicable).
- Design real-time data acquisition and filtering pipelines (timing, latency, sampling consistency, interrupt/DMA usage).
- Optimize computational performance and memory footprint (fixed-point vs floating-point, CMSIS-DSP, matrix ops, profiling).
- Build validation workflows: simulation playback, log capture, repeatable test scenarios, unit tests/HIL where possible.
- Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers on sensor characteristics, calibration, and interface protocols (SPI/I2C/UART/CAN).
- Produce clean technical documentation: filter states, models, assumptions, tuning parameters, test evidence.
