Are you an Embedded Software Team Leader seeking a new challenge in embedded systems?

Our Reading-based client is a well-established world leader, in the design of complex, high-speed electronic products used in a variety of industries and applications.

Proven Software Team Leadership experience (you might be doing this as a Principal, Lead, or Chief Engineer, which is fine).
Able to conduct design review meetings (run whiteboard sessions) and challenge experienced Engineers on design solutions.
Work with the software team to define and optimise software development processes, including architectural design, implementation guidelines, configuration management, and validation/verification practices.
Take elements of a design project on yourself writing code.

Strong background in embedded software development with significant experience in embedded C/C++.
Expertise in low-level software, real-time operating systems, and hardware interfaces.
