Your work will span across various industries, bringing together firmware and hardware to create innovative, manufacturable solutions.

The work is fast paced, requires strong decision making, collaboration across multi-disciplinary teams and as such the role is based on site in Whitchurch. We offer flexible working hours and a half day day Friday


Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop firmware in C++ for microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, nRF, NXP, TI, etc.)
  • Optimise memory usage and performance for embedded systems
  • Debug and troubleshoot hardware using oscilloscopes and logic analysers
  • Develop low-level drivers for I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, RS485
  • Work with displays at an embedded level (MIPI DSI, LVDS, RGB)
  • Maintain version control and manage code using Git/GitHub
  • Implement wireless technology (Bluetooth, ESP32)
  • Collaborate with suppliers and clients, communicating complex firmware concepts clearly
  • Work closely with design engineers, product designers, mechanical engineers, and hardware engineers to develop seamless, integrated solutions
  • Ensure high-quality documentation and evaluate own work for accuracy

Desired Skills & Experience:

  • Embedded C/C++ development for ARM MCUs (STM32, Cortex-M0/M3/M4/M7, Cortex-A)
  • Experience with RTOS & Bare-Metal programming
  • Understanding of memory management and low-level bit manipulation
  • Experience with Linux device drivers (SPI, I2C, GPIO, USB, Ethernet)
  • Python for firmware development
  • JTAG/SWD debugging, hardware integration, and board bring-up
  • Experience with secure boot, OTA updates, and bootloaders
  • Machine learning, embedded AI, or computer vision experience (highly desirable)

Why Join Us?

  • Flexible working hours with a half day on Fridays!
  • Exciting projects across multiple industries
  • Work in a creative, high-tech environment
  • Professional growth opportunities in embedded systems engineering
  • Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to bring products to life

Requirements:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in Embedded Systems
  • Proficiency in C++ (5+ years)
  • Legally authorised to work in the United Kingdom
  • Comfortable commuting to Whitchurch, Hampshire

If you are passionate about embedded firmware and want to work on cutting-edge technology within a dynamic design team, we’d love to hear from you!

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
