Job Description

The Redline Group has an urgent requirement for a Contract Firmware Engineer to support an innovative engineering business based in Cambridge. The company develops advanced safety technologies and is seeking an experienced contractor to support the development of a next-generation product currently entering the beta phase of development.

This is a hands-on role focused on firmware development, hardware bring-up, peripheral integration and platform development, working closely with Senior Engineers on a dedicated new product development programme.

Key Skills Required - Contract Firmware Engineer

  • Strong Embedded C Firmware Development experience
  • STM32 Bare-Metal Debug & Bring Up
  • Microcontroller Development (STM32, NXP, Renesas, Microchip or similar)
  • Board Support Package (BSP) Development
  • Serial Communications including SPI, I2C, UART and CAN

This role is expected to start early October and last 5 months initially with potential for extension. The successful contractor will be required on-site in Dry Drayton, Cambridge, ideally 5 days per week.
