Fuel your passion

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will take ownership of designing and delivering embedded software solutions for subsea control systems. You will lead complex troubleshooting, drive quality improvements, and serve as a key technical contributor across multiple projects. This role involves deeper expertise in distributed systems, advanced debugging, and developing tools and configurations that support the full subsea controls lifecycle.

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Leading and actively participating in design and code reviews, ensuring robustness, compliance, and maintainability of software components.

• Producing and validating XML‑based configurations for Subsea Electronic Modules, providing advanced troubleshooting and guidance to junior engineers.

• Developing and enhancing Python-based tools used to streamline engineering workflows, automate tasks, or integrate new capabilities.

• Applying strong knowledge of object-oriented design, Java SE, and cross‑platform C/C++ development for Windows and real‑time Linux, using tools such as LINT or LDRA to maintain code quality.

• Architect and support distributed communication systems using Modbus, CAN, Ethernet UDP/TCP, and other industrial protocols.

• Leading system-level troubleshooting, efficiently isolating and resolving issues across software, communication layers, and hardware interfaces.

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have a bachelor’s degree in software engineering, Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or related discipline.

• Have significant experience with embedded software development in C/C++, along with familiarity with Python and Java SE.

• Have a strong understanding of object‑oriented design, real‑time systems, and distributed communication protocols.

• Be able to analyse issues, troubleshoot systematically, and contribute to high‑reliability system development.

• Have significant hands-on experience developing embedded or industrial control system software.

• Have significant experience with system‑level debugging, communications protocol analysis, and performance optimization.

• Prior experience supporting junior engineers and influence design decisions.
