The company has a fantastic culture, state of the art equipment, and exciting R&D work over a long term contract. They regularly hire contractors, and can offer a temp to perm arrangement at the end of the contract if you're interested in making that move.

• Integration of firmware into the wider system, ensuring compatibility with existing software components
• Investigation and resolution of technical issues relating to firmware, including hardware/software interaction faults
• Production of supporting artefacts (design documentation, test specifications, and release notes

Deliverables

• Updated or new software modules integrated into the platform
• Supporting design and test documentation
