Requirements
Must:
We require candidates to have at least 8 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on embedded systems and/or low-level development.

You will lead small teams of engineers, supporting junior developers and reviewing complex codebases. Rapid adaptability to new languages, platforms, and toolchains will be crucial. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with researchers to explore new capabilities and turn innovative ideas into working software.

We are currently recruiting for a Principal Embedded Software Engineer on behalf of a cutting-edge Security Research & Development organization, focused on low-level, security-related development in embedded systems. Our team is committed to building novel and secure solutions that push technical boundaries in a deeply technical, collaborative environment that prioritizes engineering excellence. As a Principal Engineer, you will lead development efforts for secure embedded systems, working hands-on with code while mentoring others. Please note that this role requires UK security clearance. We offer a discretionary bonus, enhanced employer pension contributions, 26 days of holiday, plus bank holidays.
