Embedded Firmware Engineer Medical Devices Hybrid (Remote + some office work in Cheshire) Fed up with "agile sprints" where nothing actually ships? Here's something different. Medical device manufacturer needs an embedded firmware engineer who can work with real code, not just talk about it. The work: Life-support equipment. Oxygen systems, breathing devices - stuff that actually matters. You'll be debugging and improving legacy C code on memory-constrained microcontrollers. RTOS or bare-metal. Adding new features - wireless comms, connectivity - without breaking what already works. This isn't "let's rewrite everything because the last guy didn't use our preferred design pattern." It's pragmatic engineering. Make it work, make it right, make it fast. Regulated environment (IEC 62304, 60601), but if you're coming from aerospace or automotive, they'll train you on the medical side. The reality: Small R&D team. Hands-on lab work with proper test equipment - oscilloscopes, climatic chambers, gas testing rigs. Not just staring at a screen all day. Hybrid working - occasional travel to Cheshire when needed. But as long as the projects get completed, the Manager is flexible in terms of where you work. What you get: £70k + benefits. The satisfaction of knowing your code keeps people alive. No corporate buzzword bingo. You'll love this if you: Write solid C for embedded systems and don't need to be told why malloc() is a bad idea in safety-critical firmware Have 5+ years in a regulated industry - aerospace, automotive, medical, defence Enjoy the detective work of legacy code - understanding why it was built that way, and how to improve it without breaking everything Prefer solving real problems over architectural purity Want to work on medical devices without the bureaucracy of big pharma Interested? Apply now. No cover letter needed. Just tell me what embedded systems you've worked on and what regulatory standards you've dealt with.
