Firmware Engineers

  The Job:
Our engineers are involved in many different activities, and in particular the following:
  • Working with our hardware designers during design to specify the product, and again particularly during the prototyping stage to get the product working. This often involves the development of new special-purpose test software.
  • Backing up our technical support engineers when problems arise in the field or in our in-house production test area.

  • Developing and maintaining our PC BIOS, IPMI and diagnostics firmware.

As the job develops, the engineers are also likely to be involved in:

  • Design and development of system and device driver software for many standard operating systems.

  • Porting and testing of the operating systems on new hardware platforms.

  • Design and development of operating system based test and other software.

Working in a small company environment, projects are usually small and of short duration, and in most cases the bulk of the work is done by one individual. The hardware and software platforms vary, but most of the devices used are complex and often very new.

Qualifications:
Engineering graduate, with practical experience in at least the first two of the areas below.

  • C, PL/M or other block-structured high-level languages, preferably for the Intel 80x86 family

  • Diagnostics, bootloader or PC BIOS development

  • Embedded real-time software development

  • VxWorks, QNX or other real-time operating systems

  • Windows or Linux/Unix device drivers or system (kernel level) software

A good appreciation of the hardware is a pre-requisite for this role. The ability to communicate effectively with others within the company at an engineering level is an important additional attribute.

Benefits:
Very competitive salary package, with generous relocation allowance where appropriate. Company-supported private pension scheme. Non-contributory private health and medical insurance schemes.
