Embedded Software Engineer | Outside IR35 | Cambridge

The client is looking for specialist embedded software development services to deliver defined firmware components for an embedded Linux platform.

They are looking for multiple software engineers, so I encourage you to apply if you have any recent experience developing software on an embedded Linux platform.

Scope of Services

* Development of embedded Linux firmware for target hardware platforms (OMAP & iMX6), including kernel configuration, BSP updates, and device driver enablement

* Implementation of software required to support platform bring-up and peripheral integration (e.g. UART, SPI, I2C, PCIe)

* Integration of firmware into the wider system, ensuring compatibility with existing software components

* Investigation and resolution of technical issues relating to firmware, including hardware/software interaction faults

* Production of supporting artefacts (design documentation, test specifications, and release notes)

Deliverables

* Embedded Linux firmware components (kernel, BSP, drivers)

* Updated or new software modules integrated into the platform

* Supporting design and test documentation

* Evidence of testing and validation (unit, integration, system level as appropriate)

* Issue investigation reports and resolution outcomes
