We're developing next-generation wearable sensor technology that captures far more than standard metrics. Our goal is to give people deeper, more accurate insights into how they move.
Your Role As a Junior Embedded Software Engineer with 2–3 years of experience, you'll contribute to building and improving our firmware across a range of BLE-enabled wearable devices. Working alongside hardware, app, and data specialists, you'll help optimise low-power BLE systems and develop reliable firmware features. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and plenty of room to grow.
Responsibilities
BLE Firmware Development
-
Contribute to BLE stack development, supporting robust performance and low-power operation.
-
Implement and refine advertising and connection strategies under the guidance of senior engineers.
Low-Power Firmware
-
Write clean, well-structured embedded C/C++ (FreeRTOS or bare-metal), using state machines and peripheral management to help maximise battery life.
Communication Protocol Implementation
-
Implement data synchronisation between BLE devices and smartphones (iOS/Android), handling connection interruptions and packet loss with support from the wider team.
Hardware/Firmware Interface
-
Work with hardware engineers to validate peripherals (I²C/SPI buses, sensors, power management) and contribute to PCB bring-up at the prototype stage.
Debug & Testing
-
Use oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and power profilers to identify and resolve firmware and hardware issues.
What We're Looking For
-
2–3 years of embedded C/C++ experience on resource-constrained systems.
-
Hands-on BLE development experience, with exposure to low-power implementations.
-
Exposure to at least one product or project through multiple development stages (wearable, IoT, or similar).
-
Familiarity with BLE-to-smartphone communication on iOS or Android, including basic data synchronisation and error handling.
-
Zephyr RTOS preferred; FreeRTOS or bare-metal background also considered. We're happy to bring you up to speed on Zephyr if needed.
-
Comfortable using standard debug tooling (oscilloscope, logic analyser, power measurement).
-
Basic Python scripting or sensor interfacing experience is a plus.
-
Familiarity with Git and CI workflows is a plus.
Why You'll Love Working With Us
-
Work on truly meaningful tech with real impact
-
Collaborative and friendly team environment
-
Competitive salary and benefits
-
Strong mentorship and room to grow technically
-
Hybrid working with a Paddington-based office
