Embedded Software Engineer

Position: Embedded Software Engineer

Location: Newcastle

KO2’s client is seeking a talented Embedded Software Engineer to join their growing engineering team in Newcastle. This is a key hire within the business, offering the opportunity to work on a wide variety of technically challenging projects that combine software, firmware, electronics, and mechanical engineering. The core requirement is strong embedded software expertise – everything else is a bonus. If you enjoy variety, problem-solving, and working across disciplines, this role will give you exactly that.

• Developing and maintaining embedded software solutions for complex engineering systems
• Collaborating with electronics and mechanical teams on cross-disciplinary projects
• Tackling varied technical challenges across firmware, C/C++, C#, and Python (all nice-to-haves, but not essential)
• Involvement in the full development lifecycle, from design through to deployment

• Strong experience with embedded software development is essential
• Comfortable working close to hardware and within cross-functional teams
• Any additional skills in modern C++, C#, Python, RTOS, or firmware are highly desirable but not required

• Flexible working: 3 days onsite in Newcastle, 2 days working from home
• A role with huge variety – no two projects are the same
• The chance to play a pivotal part in shaping software direction for a growing team

This is a fantastic opportunity for an Embedded Software Engineer who wants to work on innovative projects in a supportive and collaborative environment, while enjoying the flexibility of hybrid working.

If you’re an experienced engineer with a passion for embedded software, we’d love to hear from you.
