Staff Hardware Engineer responsible for hardware design of compute and sensor systems for autonomous vehicles. Leading prototype integration, validation, and cross - functional collaboration for mission - critical logistics.
About the role
- Firmware Engineer developing solutions across the full firmware stack for an Ambarella-based body-worn camera platform. Working on device communication, feature development, and code quality improvements in a scale-up environment.
Responsibilities
- Work across the full firmware stack on an embedded Linux body-worn camera platform
- Contribute to the technology transfer of firmware from external vendors to the Belfast team
- Develop and maintain firmware for an Ambarella-based camera
- Implement and improve device-to-cloud communication, streaming, and remote control features
- Optimise battery performance and power efficiency
- Perform hands-on hardware debugging and measurement using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analysers, etc.)
- Improve code quality, structure, and maintainability of the existing firmware codebase
- Support integration with the Halos cloud platform
- Contribute to new feature development, including edge AI capabilities
- Collaborate with hardware, cloud, and manufacturing partners
- Work independently while contributing to a small, growing engineering team
Requirements
- Degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Minimum 4 years’ experience in embedded firmware or embedded Linux development
- Strong C/C++ development experience for embedded systems
- Experience with embedded Linux (build systems, drivers, networking, debugging)
- Experience working close to hardware (UART, I2C, SPI, power management, etc.)
- Experience debugging on real devices and using lab equipment
- Understanding of performance and power optimisation on embedded devices
- Experience working across a full firmware stack (not just a single layer)
- Comfortable working in a scale-up environment with autonomy
- Highly Valued: Experience with Ambarella SoCs and SDK
- Highly Valued: Experience with video devices, cameras, or media pipelines
- Highly Valued: Experience with streaming protocols and device-to-cloud communication
- Highly Valued: Experience implementing or optimising low-power systems
