Bermondsey Electronics is a contract electronics development company looking for an embedded software developer to expand the team. The successful applicant will work on a wide variety of systems, with different targets and design goals, based from the office in Bermondsey.


Last year we worked on projects in fitness, audio, the Android platform, wearables, IoT, medical treatment and sports broadcast. ARM (Cortex-M and -A) is the main target. We work on new technologies like AI IoT devices with TensorFlow Lite Micro for neural networks. We have some work in quality controlled industries, like medical and intrinsic safety (SIL / IEC61508 / ISO13485). Not all work is in those industries, however. Many clients value a working prototype over a polished product. Still, there is a requirement for documentation of all projects.


The work is mostly (95%+) software development. Because the business is growing, a new embedded software developer is needed.


This role is best suited to a developer keen to work in a range of emerging technologies. Often clients want something on the cutting edge. This means engaging with new technologies quickly, identifying pain points early and planning to meet these challenges. Clients value responsiveness, accuracy of estimation and on time delivery. Demonstrating these skills at interview will be key to landing this role. The interview process requires an on site assessment.


If you thrive in responsive, hands-on work and enjoy solving difficult problems efficiently, this could be the right role for you!

  • Embedded Linux e.g. Yocto or Buildroot
  • Python

The ideal candidate will also have some familiarity with:

  • Embedded OS use
  • Low power optimisation
  • Rudimentary assembly language
  • Makefiles
  • Basic soldering
  • Unit testing


36 hours of full time effort are expected every week. Remote working is offered, although 2 days per week on site are required. Flexitime is offered as standard, although all hours must be accountable. 25 days' vacation are offered, growing with tenure.
