Senior Firmware Engineer (Wireless)

Senior Embedded Software Engineer Cellular / DSP

Bedfordshire Hybrid

This is an engineering team where decisions aren t pushed up the chain they re made by the people doing the work.

The structure is flat.
The expectation is ownership.
And the engineers here don t just build systems they shape how they re built.

You ll be working on live wireless systems, taking real cellular signals and making them usable in unpredictable environments.
Not simulations. Not ideal conditions.
Real-world RF problems that need solving properly.

The Role

You ll operate across the embedded stack, with the freedom to approach problems properly not within rigid boundaries:

• Embedded C firmware development
• Cellular protocol layers (MAC / RLC)
• DSP implementation where needed
• Integration with RF hardware, DSPs and FPGA platforms

You won t be siloed.
You ll work directly with RF, hardware, FPGA and DSP engineers to solve system-level challenges.

The Environment

A 20-person engineering team spanning RF, DSP, FPGA, hardware and software.

What makes it different:

• Engineers self-manage no micromanagement
• Decisions are made within the team, not escalated through layers
• Collaboration is direct and cross-disciplinary
• You re trusted to own problems end-to-end, not just your piece

For the right person, that level of trust and responsibility is genuinely liberating.

Why This Role

• Engineers influence technical direction, not just delivery
• Work on real-world wireless systems, not controlled environments
• Broad exposure across embedded, DSP, RF and system integration
• Employee-owned structure you have a real stake in the business

What Matters

• Strong Embedded C experience
• Exposure to cellular systems (ideally MAC / RLC or similar layers)
• Experience working close to hardware / performance-critical systems
• Comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability
• DSP implementation experience is highly beneficial

Package

• £75,000 £85,000 base
• 15% profit-related bonus
• 7% non-contributory pension
• Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite)

If you prefer environments where everything is defined for you this probably isn t the right fit.

If you want ownership, influence, and the freedom to solve complex problems properly, it s worth a conversation.
