Build and optimise embedded C/C++ applications within RTOS environments
Implement deterministic control loops and low-level hardware interfaces
Develop robust communication protocols across digital and RF subsystems
Design fault-tolerant and resilient system architectures for high-reliability environments
Support hardware-in-the-loop testing, integration, debugging, and verification activities
Optimise performance, power consumption, and memory usage in constrained embedded systems
Contribute to secure remote management and monitoring capabilities for deployed systems
Work closely with systems, hardware, RF, and software teams to deliver integrated solutions
What You’ll bring
Strong knowledge of embedded systems operating within real-time or constrained environments
Proficiency in embedded C/C++ and RTOS-based development
