Engineering Talent Scout - Bridging Product Development Companies to Top Talent and Engineers to Dream Jobs

An Australian R&D and manufacturing company developing advanced defence and industrial systems is expanding its engineering team and now hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to support the development and testing of advanced control technologies.

In this role, you will focus on low-level programming and hands-on implementation, working directly with hardware to deliver reliable embedded solutions. The position involves bare-metal development in C, primarily on Arduino-based platforms, with an emphasis on fast iteration, testing, and validation in a practical engineering environment. Experience with communication protocols such as CAN bus is highly valued, along with a background in electronics or mechatronics that supports close collaboration with hardware teams.

This is a full-time, Adelaide-based role with excellent access to public transport and parking.

Full relocation is required for interstate candidates; cost assistance is provided.

Key Responsibilities:


• Develop low-level embedded software for bare-metal platforms.


• Implement, test, and validate code in a hands-on engineering environment.


• Work with communication protocols including CAN bus.


• Collaborate with electronics and mechatronics engineers to integrate software with hardware.


• Support quick prototyping, iteration, and debugging of embedded systems.

Requirements:


• Degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.


• At least 3 years' experience in embedded software development.


• Strong proficiency in C for bare-metal programming.


• Experience with Arduino platforms or similar microcontrollers.


• Practical, hands-on engineering skills with the ability to test and validate quickly.


• Must be an Australian citizen.

Desirable but not essential:


• Experience with CAN bus protocol implementation.


• Exposure to defence, safety-critical, or high-reliability systems.


• Familiarity with other embedded toolchains and microcontroller platforms.
