IMI plc

We are a global specialist engineering company that creates breakthrough solutions. We are curious and like to solve problems, partnering with our customers to solve the demands of today and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. We embrace innovation and care about outcomes that are good for business, everyday life and making a better world – creating lasting impact for everyone.

We design, build and service highly engineered products in fluid and motion control applications. We focus on five market sectors: Industrial Automation, Process Automation, Climate Control, Life Science and Fluid Control, and Transport.

Our partnership approach breaks through problems and reduces complexity. We don’t invent in isolation – we collaborate with our customers. We listen closely and we think differently, creating space for diverse minds to innovate. We are working together to make businesses safer, more sustainable and more productive.

Role Overview: We are looking for a Firmware Engineer (Zigbee Specialist) to support our Heatmiser business within IMI Climate Control. As a Firmware Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing and implementing software for industry-specific hardware. Your expertise will contribute to the success of a cutting-edge product, contributing to the future development of the Company to deliver on our growth strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, code, test, and debug high-quality, reliable embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller-based heating control products
Implement, integrate, configure, and optimise Zigbee 3.0 (and potentially related standards like Green Power) stacks and application layer profiles (e.g., Home Automation) on target hardware platforms
Focus on ensuring robust, low-power, and standards-compliant Zigbee communication, including mesh networking behaviour, device pairing, security, and interoperability
Utilise debugging tools (debuggers, logic analysers, oscilloscopes) and protocol analysers (e.g., Wireshark) to troubleshoot complex firmware and communication issues. Develop and execute comprehensive unit, integration, and system test plans, particularly for Zigbee functionality
Collaborate closely with hardware engineers during the design phase, participate in board bring-up, and develop low-level drivers for peripherals (sensors, actuators, displays, memory, communication interfaces like I2C, SPI, UART)
Optimise firmware for performance, memory usage, and power consumption, especially critical for battery-powered devices
Create and maintain clear and concise technical documentation, including design specifications, API definitions, test procedures, and release notes
Participate in peer code reviews to ensure high code quality, adherence to coding standards, and knowledge sharing
Stay up-to-date with the latest Zigbee specifications and contribute to ensuring products meet relevant certification requirements (e.g., Zigbee Alliance, UKCA, CE)
Work effectively within the multi-disciplinary R&D team (Hardware, Software, QA) and potentially with external partners

Critical Competencies for Success:

Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field (or equivalent industry experience)
Proven commercial experience (ideally 4+ years) in embedded firmware development using C/C++
Demonstrable hands-on experience developing firmware for Zigbee-enabled products. Strong understanding of the Zigbee protocol stack (including network, security, and application layers), mesh networking principles, and standard application profiles (e.g., ZHA, ZLL)
Proficiency with embedded development toolchains (compilers, linkers, debuggers)
Experience with standard hardware debugging tools and protocol analysers
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git)
Experience with specific Zigbee stacks (e.g., Silicon Labs EmberZNet / Gecko)

Desirable Qualifications and Experience:

Experience developing firmware for low-power, battery-operated devices
Experience with other wireless communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, Thread)
Familiarity with test automation frameworks for embedded systems
Experience in the HVAC, smart home, building automation, or IoT industries
Understanding of secure coding practices for embedded systems
Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for test or build automation.

What we offer:

Opportunity to support the growth of the Heatmiser business whilst being part of a large organisation with over 10,000 employees in 50+ countries
Be part of a company at the forefront of innovation, improving the quality of life for our customers and communities
Personal growth, career development and networking opportunities within the business, division or the wider Group
Be part of a company that is committed to inclusion and diversity
Attractive remuneration package including a range of wellbeing benefits
Modern office building with free parking and links to major motorways, airports and cities in the North of the UK
