Location: Bristol, Glasgow, Burton or Manchester

Closing date for this role is 31st August but we encourage early applications

As a consultancy, Frazer-Nash’s embedded systems projects vary in scale from independent assessment and assurance of embedded control systems through to bespoke device rapid prototyping and demonstration projects to developing large-scale control systems for some of the most complex and high-profile engineering projects in the UK today.

We look to engage our engineers on interesting and innovative projects that really matter to provide a safe, secure and sustainable future; within the defence, space and renewable energy domains.

Are you someone who can look beyond the task presented, who has a desire to apply their embedded software skills to tackle problems in new industries; to take a systems view to understand our clients’ needs and consult and deliver sustainable solutions that truly add value?

You will be working in a close team with a mix of experience on projects that are varied both in scale and industry sector. We typically have a diverse portfolio of projects ranging from designing prototype electronics / Internet of Things (IoT) devices through to developing large-scale control systems for some of the most complex and high-profile engineering projects in the UK today. This diversity and the growth of our embedded systems development capability provides a wealth of opportunities for career development and progression within our team.

Alongside the technical aspects of the role, effective communication is also key as we collaborate widely internally, with partners and with our broad customer base.

The role will involve hybrid working in our offices and laboratories, at home, at clients’ sites and field trial environments depending on the needs of projects.
