Senior Firmware Engineer

Job description

Senior Development Engineer – Electronics & Firmware (Precision Instrumentation)

Are you an engineer who thrives when hardware, firmware, and mechanics/Mechanical all come together to create something precise, reliable, and real? This could be the role you’ve been waiting for.

The client are a UK-based designer and manufacturer of high-precision instrumentation used across multiple sectors for next generation innovative developments. The emphasis is on products that deliver accuracy, repeatability, and long-term reliability—and we’re looking for someone who takes pride in delivering exactly that.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead electronics-driven product development from concept through to production
• Take full ownership of designs—hardware, firmware, and system integration
• Work hands-on with analogue & digital electronics and embedded systems
• Collaborate closely with precision mechanical engineers in a true R&D environment
• Drive projects forward with autonomy and accountability

⚙ What We’re Looking For

You’ll bring:

• Strong experience in electronics design (analogue + digital)
• Embedded firmware development (C / C++)
• Work with motors, sensors (LVDTs, load cells), and temperature control systems
• Proven track record of delivering real, physical electro-mechanical products
• Confidence in taking products from idea → validation → production → support - Full lifecycle

Ideal Background

We’re especially interested in engineers with experience in:

• Cross Discipline of Electronics, Firmware and Mechanical
• Interest in Scientific or laboratory instrumentation, Precision automation or motion systems
• Measurement, metrology, or test equipment
• High-reliability engineering environments

This Role Isn’t For

• Pure software or cloud-focused engineers
• PCB layout-only specialists
• Early-career or graduate-level candidates
• Anyone without hands-on product delivery experience

Location & Working Style

• Cranleigh Hybrid Working

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a narrow role. It’s an opportunity to own meaningful engineering work, see your designs come to life, and be part of a team where precision delivery matter.

If you’re the kind of engineer who feels personally responsible when systems don’t work—and deeply satisfied when they do—let’s talk. The company offers excellent benefits too.
