Embedded Software Placement

Based: High Wycombe
Type: Full-time, 12 month placement
Salary: £26250 pa

We’re looking for a curious and enthusiastic person to join our embedded software team for a year.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers on real products, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of software, hardware, and development tooling projects. We value people who enjoy understanding how things work, solving difficult problems, and learning new technologies.

You will work with other engineers with the Embedded Software team as well as across Hardware, QA and Production Engineering, with opportunities to be involved with multi-disciplinary product development across Focusrite, Focusrite Pro and Novation.

Core responsibilities include:

Collaborating with the team to deliver embedded software features in our current projects
Developing tools, scripts and automation to improve engineering workflows and product development efficiency
Assisting in the investigation, debugging and testing of software running on real hardware
Contributing to the maintenance of our products and systems
Taking ownership of your learning and adapting quickly in response to feedback

What we’re looking for:

A keen interest in firmware and embedded software development
Curiosity about how technology works and enthusiasm for learning new skills
Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, hands-on approach to debugging technical issues
Experience programming in C/C++, with some familiarity of Python
Awareness of software engineering practices such as version control, build and test automation, or continuous integration
Good technical communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with other engineers
An interest in audio and music technology and the products we create

We'd love to hear about projects you've worked on, whether personal, academic, open-source, or extracurricular. This might include software, electronics, music technology, home automation, robotics, maker projects, or anything else you've built or explored out of curiosity. Tell us what you built, the challenges you encountered, how you approached solving them, and what you learned along the way. These experiences often tell us far more about your interests and approach to engineering than a list of technologies or programming languages.

The strongest candidates are usually people who enjoy understanding how things work, aren't afraid to tackle unfamiliar problems, and can demonstrate examples of things they've built, fixed, improved, or taught themselves.
