La Fosse is looking for a Senior or Principal Embedded Engineer who can help the team design Architectures for defence and security applications. You will be called upon to develop solutions at the system level as well as take on the detailed electronic design work required to realise your concept.

Although this role is focused on defence and security applications, you will have the opportunity to apply your skills to other sectors in which we are active including healthcare and consumer. Sharing ideas across sectors is Embedded within our way of working.

The key technologies for our current projects include:

• Ultra-low power electronics and firmware including a broad range of communication technologies (Cellular, WiFi, BLE, DECT NR+, Zigbee, Sub 1GHz, NFC)
• Microcontrollers using a range of peripherals (RTC, SPI, I2C, UART, Crypto Engines, DMA, ADCs, USB, AI/ML accelerators)
• Microprocessor systems using a range of peripherals
• 'hardsec'/novel hardware-based cybersecurity.

Clients often approach us with unique challenges that require a creative outlook and an adaptable skill set.

Flexible working - We are guided by our client work and needs; however, you have autonomy to manage your time and diary to suit your work/life balance.
