We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join an innovative team delivering advanced technology solutions for the film and television industry. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting‑edge embedded systems while helping shape the future direction of a live and evolving project.

Role overview

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining embedded software for custom PCB solutions, working across both hardware and software domains. The role requires strong expertise in embedded C/C++ programming and experience integrating multiple communication protocols.

The project is already underway with key architectural decisions in place, however there is significant scope for you to influence technical direction and contribute as a foundational member of the engineering team.

Key responsibilities

* Write, maintain, and optimise C/C++ code for embedded systems and custom PCBs

* Implement and debug communication protocols including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and Ethernet

* Integrate embedded software with third‑party hardware and systems

* Contribute to the design and development of embedded software architecture

* Conduct detailed testing, debugging, and fault analysis of embedded systems

* Produce clear and accurate technical documentation

* Work closely with hardware engineers and other team members to ensure effective system integration

Essential skills and experience

* Proven experience developing embedded software using C and C++

* Strong background working with microcontroller peripherals and interfaces

* Ability to read, understand, and work from electronic schematics

* Good understanding of communication standards at the physical layer and above

* Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills

* Comfortable working independently and collaboratively within a team

* High level of attention to detail, including documentation

* Ability to commute to West London when required/Hybrid working

Desirable skills (not essential)

* Experience with schematic design and PCB layout

* Reverse engineering of communication protocols

* Fault finding and component‑level electronic repair

* Familiarity with source control systems

* Experience working with FPGAs (VHDL/Verilog)

* Knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

* Experience with, or interest in, AI‑assisted development tools

* Understanding of Film and TV production systems

* C++ plugin development experience

* Full clean UK driving licence

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to join a technically ambitious project at a pivotal stage, offering real influence over how systems evolve while working on technology used at the forefront of film and television production

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Semiconductor Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Semiconductors are the foundational technology of the modern world. Every smartphone, electric vehicle, data centre, medical device, satellite, and AI accelerator depends on them. And yet for much of the past decade, the strategic importance of semiconductor design and manufacturing was something that governments, investors, and employers took largely for granted — until supply chain crises, geopolitical tensions, and the insatiable compute demands of artificial intelligence made the vulnerability of global semiconductor supply chains impossible to ignore. The response has been significant and sustained. The UK's National Semiconductor Strategy, the US CHIPS Act, the EU Chips Act, and parallel investment programmes across Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have collectively committed hundreds of billions of pounds to semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing capability. In the UK specifically, that investment is beginning to translate into real hiring — across compound semiconductor manufacturing, chip design, semiconductor equipment, advanced packaging, and the growing ecosystem of fabless design companies that are choosing Britain as their base. For job seekers, the semiconductor jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is more commercially urgent, more geographically distributed, and more technically diverse than at any previous point in the sector's UK history. The roles being created span the full semiconductor value chain — from fundamental materials research and process engineering through chip design, verification, and the software that makes silicon useful. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where that value chain is being built, which technical areas are attracting the most investment, and how to position their skills at the intersection of the sector's greatest needs. This article breaks down what the UK semiconductor jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most strategically important technology sectors in the UK economy.
