Embedded Software Team Lead

We’re working with a world-renowned British hi‑fi brand whose name has become synonymous with exceptional sound, engineering precision and timeless design. As part of their R&D division, the business continues to push the boundaries of premium audio – blending analogue warmth with cutting‑edge digital innovation.

They’re now looking for an Embedded Software Team Lead to join their growing Software Development function. A hands‑on role combining engineering, coordination and technical leadership.

You’ll play a key part in coordinating a small, talented team of embedded engineers (typically 2–3 direct reports) and contributing directly to software design and development. This is a hybrid role, part technical manager, part engineer, ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems while keeping projects on track.

• Collaborate with Project Management and Engineering leaders to turn technical specifications into detailed software tasks
• Write high‑quality embedded code in C/C++ (microcontrollers, DSP, embedded Linux, ARM)
• Guide and mentor junior engineers, promoting best practice and continuous improvement
• Support project delivery using tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Liaise with Electronics, Acoustics, Software Test and Production teams to ensure seamless integration
• Contribute to process improvements in CI/CD, automated testing and onboarding
• Act as the main point of contact for embedded software within R&D and across the wider business

You’ll be hands‑on in the lab, validating prototypes, preparing for demos, and helping bring next‑generation hi‑fi products to life.

You’re an embedded software engineer who loves music, technology and collaboration — and you’re ready for a step up into leadership.

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or similar
• 5+ years’ experience in embedded software development
• Strong C programming skills on embedded platforms
• Knowledge of ARM microcontrollers, Embedded Linux or DSP
• Familiarity with unit testing, automated testing or TDD
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate technical detail into clear actions
• A proactive, problem‑solving mindset and genuine enthusiasm for great sound

Experience in consumer electronics, Wi‑Fi‑enabled devices or audio technology would be an advantage.

You’ll join a collaborative, music‑loving team who are passionate about engineering excellence and customer experience. The environment is friendly, relaxed and innovation‑driven — with access to world‑class facilities and the chance to shape the next generation of high‑end audio systems.

Apply now to play a key role in one of the UK’s most respected audio brands, combining engineering precision with the pursuit of perfect sound.
