ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Senior Firmware Engineer, you will be reporting to the Software Engineering Manager as an embedded systems developer. Responsible for integration of hardware and software, this exciting role will place the right candidate at the forefront of unmanned air systems development in the UK.
We seek someone looking to support in the development and verification of flight control software. You will be supporting in the delivery of engineering outputs including software requirements, software design, software implementation and software testing. Applying your knowledge and principles of engineering to assist in the implementation of aircraft control systems to a high degree of safety and reliability

WHAT YOU’LL BEING DOING:

· Design and Development: Architect, design, and/or develop small modules, features, or entire embedded software products. Understanding the needs of the hardware and ensuring the software meets the solution customed to the client’s requirements.
· Testing and Implementation: Responsible for the thorough testing of embedded software to ensure reliability and functionality. Implement software in a manner that is optimized for the specific hardware it controls.
· Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with other engineering teams to ensure software and hardware compatibility with the whole system. Participate in all phases of the development cycle, from concept to release.
· Technical Expertise: Malloy’s growth bedrock is based on innovation and learning. This requires, maintaining and broaden knowledge in technical disciplines such as networks, operating systems, sensor systems and signal systems. Apply this expertise to develop high-quality embedded software solutions.
· Problem Solving: Resolve issues using good technical knowledge and judgment. Consult with senior team members for complex problems outside of established procedures.
