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!


Candidatesmustbe eligible to work in the UK. No exceptions.


Candidates must know embedded C programming and any one of the following:

  • Embedded Linux e.g. Yocto or Buildroot
  • Python
  • Android build system
  • Networking and communication protocols
  • ISO13485 / IEC61508 experience

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.


Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Benefits:

  • Flexitime

  • Work from home

 

Schedule:

  • 8 hour shift

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
