Join the engineering team at Deep Sea Electronics Ltd, where you will design and deliver high‑quality embedded software for industrial Control and Automation applications. The role focuses on real‑time control, industrial communications and functional safety (IEC 61508/IEC 62061), creating robust solutions for environments such as power generation, manufacturing, utilities and process industries. You will contribute across the product lifecycle — from requirements and architecture through implementation, verification, certification and field support.
The Embedded Software Engineer will have:
  * Expert in C/C++ for microcontroller development
  * Functional Safety: IEC 61508 (and/or IEC 62061); safety concepts (SIL, SFF, PFH), safety planning and verification
  * Principles of Industrial Automation products: control theory basics (PID), sensors/actuators, transducers and signal conditioning
  * Electrical principles & Familiar with stage-gated / agile development approaches
  * Excellent team player with problem-solving and troubleshooting capabilities

The Embedded Software Engineer will be responsible for:
  * Design and implement C/C++ software for embedded devices (bare‑metal and RTOS) used in industrial control systems
  * Develop real‑time control algorithms (e.g., PID, state‑based control) for sensors, actuators, and power systems
  * Produce work breakdown structures and define work packages for execution in JIRA tasks and integration into high-level plans
  * Integrate with industrial control equipment and software, including PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems
  * Implement and validate industrial communication protocols: Modbus (RTU/TCP), CAN/CANopen/J1939, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, RS‑232/RS‑485
  * Apply functional safety practices in line with IEC 61508/IEC 62061, including SIL determination, Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS), HARA/FTA/FMEA, and verification evidence
  * Contribute to software quality by the use of coding standards (e.g., MISRA C/C++) and static analysis tools, performing code reviews and developing unit/integration tests
  * Create test plans and perform functional product verification and validation activities
  * Author and maintain engineering documentation: architecture, design descriptions, interface control documents, test plans, and safety lifecycle artefacts
  * Collaborate closely with electronics, test & approvals, cybersecurity and product management to deliver cohesive solutions
  * Support system integration, commissioning and troubleshooting at parent company and customer sites (UK and international travel required)
  * Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, toolchains, CI/CD and development workflows (e.g., Git, Jira, code review)
  * Mentor less‑experienced engineers; share knowledge through design reviews, brown‑bags and documentation. Participate in sustaining activities for existing products, including defect resolution and targeted feature enhancements
