 Based in Livingston, Grw Talent's client comprises of a group of European companies engaged in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of analytical systems, life science equipment and laboratory instruments with operations dating back many years. Now part of a global multinational business, their fast growing multidisciplinary scientific and engineering group is looking to recruit an Embedded Systems Engineer.
  
 Reporting to the Software Team Leader / Program Manager, the Embedded Systems Engineer will play a key role in the design, development, testing, and support of embedded software and hardware solutions used across their scientific instrumentation product range.
 Responsibilities:
  
Develop, implement, and verify FPGA-based designs using VHDL or Verilog, alongside embedded software for microcontrollers and peripheral interfaces. 
Develop device drivers, firmware, and low-level software for peripherals and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, DDR, UART, CAN, etc.). 
Collaborate with electronic engineers ensuring integration between software & hardware. 
Conduct debugging, verification, and validation of embedded systems using lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analysers, debuggers). 
Propose, implement, and demonstrate solutions to problems which may not, given the research and development environment, have clearly defined requirements. 
Maintain and improve legacy codebases as needed. 
Support prototype and production transfer, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.  You'll need to have a degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.  You'll need to have a proficiency in VHDL/Verilog and C/C++ for embedded systems and experience with FPGA development and toolchains, particularly Xilinx Vivado (including synthesis, simulation, and implementation workflows).  Also needed is experience with Cypress FX2/FX3 platform, USB 3.0 protocol, and associated development tools (i.e., EZ-USB Suite) for microprocessors (e.g. ARM Cortex-M, 8051, AVR, PIC) and a familiarity with embedded development tools (compilers, debuggers, version control systems such as Git).  You should have a strong understanding of real-time operating systems (RTOS) or bare-metal development and a solid understanding of electronics fundamentals with the ability to interpret schematics and device datasheets.  Lastly experience developing and consuming dynamic link libraries (DLLs) for hardware-software integration. 
  
 If you are proactive and organised, with a structured approach to debugging, testing, and documentation and a high attention to detail and a commitment to producing high quality, reliable embedded solutions we would like to hear from you.  Also desirable skills would be experience with Agile tools and workflows (i.e., Jira , Git branching strategies) and in writing test software or PC side tools in C# or Python for hardware-software integration.
  
 Although primarily needed to work on site week you will likely be able to work from home 1-2 days a week once established in role.
