Embedded Software Engineer Paignton, Devon (Hybrid)

Up to £60k + share options + benefits

This is an exciting and new opportunity for a motivated embedded software engineer / firmware engineer to join a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency.

This embedded software engineer role involves:

* Embedded software development for network interface card products

* The use of embedded C++ for implementation of functions / features

* Working with prototype hardware, identifying and root causing bugs and issues

* Linux PCIe network driver development

* PCIe peer-to-peer and GPU Direct

Candidates must have:

* Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills

* The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation

* Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems (advantageous)

A good understanding of electronics product development coupled with proven embedded software development experience is required. Experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver product development would be excellent.

Embedded software design candidates may have worked in other arenas involving highspeed network technologies (e.g. network and data centre hardware, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products).

Skills / Experience required: Embedded Software Engineer

* A degree or masters in a relevant subject area (e.g. electronics engineering)
