Bring your electronics and embedded software experience to engineering projects where safety shapes the design.
Our client is looking for an engineer who can combine practical hardware and software knowledge with an understanding of safety assurance. You’ll work across the product lifecycle, from defining requirements and reviewing architectures to integration, qualification and in-service support.
Based in Bristol or Burton-on-Trent, the role offers flexible hybrid working across the office, client sites and home.
The role
You’ll take technical responsibility while staying close to the engineering detail. Your work will include:
- Developing and reviewing architectures for systems containing electronics, firmware and embedded software.
- Creating or reviewing circuit schematics and software source code.
- Translating customer and safety needs into clear requirements with traceability and acceptance criteria.
- Supporting hazard analysis, FMEA/FMECA, fault-tree analysis and safety assurance evidence.
- Resolving integration issues and supporting verification, validation and qualification.
- Coordinating technical priorities, scope and risks with customers, engineering teams and suppliers.
You’ll need experience delivering electronics and embedded software within a safety-related, high-integrity or regulated environment, supported by a relevant degree or equivalent practical experience.
Your background should include:
- Electronic design or review, covering analogue, digital or mixed-signal circuits.
- Embedded software development or assurance using C or C++.
- Requirements capture, decomposition, traceability and verification planning.
- Safety lifecycle principles and the evidence needed to demonstrate a design meets its safety requirements.
- Integration, troubleshooting and testing across hardware and software.
Experience with standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-254 or DO-178C would be useful. Technical product ownership, delivery leadership and tools such as DOORS, Jama or Polarion would also be beneficial.
Relevant experience could come from defence, aerospace, rail, automotive, nuclear, energy, medical devices or another regulated sector.
The package
Alongside a salary of £60,000–£75,000, benefits include flexible working, annual salary reviews, a company performance bonus, pension, private healthcare and life assurance. Professional development and support towards professional registration are also available.
Applicants must be able to satisfy UK National Security Vetting criteria and complete pre-employment screening.
