Experienced Embedded Software Engineer - Consultant

Job Description

At TTP, we partner with clients across healthcare, communications, industrial automation and deep tech sectors to solve ambitious, technically challenging problems. We bring together expertise in software, electronics, physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering and product development to create breakthrough technologies and products.

We’re looking for an experienced embedded software engineer who is ready to take responsibility for the definition of complex software-enabled systems and provide the technical leadership necessary for their successful delivery.

This role would suit someone who enjoys staying close to software engineering fundamentals while progressing to systems and software architecture, multidisciplinary problem solving, technical leadership, and accountability for software delivery across complex development programmes.

Depending on the project, you could be:

defining system architectures for connected devices and embedded systems

leading technical delivery across software, electronics and systems engineering

solving complex integration and performance challenges

shaping technical solutions with clients and multidisciplinary teams

mentoring engineers and influencing technical decision making

Our projects are varied and often technically novel, giving you the opportunity to work across different technologies, industries and product domains while solving problems that rarely have straightforward answers.

What we’re looking for

We’re particularly interested in people with strong embedded systems or device software experience, alongside an ability to think broadly about how complex systems fit together.

You’ll likely bring:

a strong academic foundation, including a 2:1 degree or above in a relevant subject

experience developing embedded software or firmware for complex devices or physical products

a systems-thinking mindset and interest in architecture and integration

strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams and clients

Experience in areas such as cloud-connected systems, cyber security, application software, AI/ML or regulated environments would be beneficial, but is not essential.

Why TTP?

TTP is an independent technology company where engineers and scientists work together to invent, design and develop new products and technologies.

Our environment gives people the freedom to explore ideas, work across disciplines, and tackle technically demanding challenges with real-world impact.

You’ll work with highly capable teams on projects that are varied, intellectually stimulating and often at the cutting edge of technology development.
