At Dexory, we are transforming the warehousing and logistics industry through data intelligence. As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, you will be a key driver in delivering complex and reliable embedded solutions on our cutting-edge robot platforms. By collaborating across hardware, software, and electronics teams, you will help shape and deploy firmware that meets the high performance, reliability, and safety needs of our technology-while also ensuring we deliver incremental value swiftly.

This will involve a minimum of 4 days per week onsite with us at Verda Park, Wallingford. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship at this time as well as relocation assistance.

Responsibilities

1. Firmware Development & Delivery

• Design, implement, and optimize firmware (ideally within a RTOS) for STM32 (or similar 32-bit ARM) microcontrollers within an autonomous robot environment.
• Rapidly prototype and iterate to ensure quick value delivery, balancing quality with speed and testing times.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, electronics) to define and refine requirements and interfaces.

• Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks that enable fast and reliable firmware validation.
• Work with a nimble mindset: quickly evaluate changes, gather data and feedback, iterate to ensure continuous improvement and immediate impact.

• Implement robust error handling, fail-safe mechanisms, and performance monitoring within bare-metal and RTOS architectures.
• Design secure and reliable over-the-air (OTA) update processes, supporting incremental improvements without compromising stability.

• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate firmware features into the broader Dexory's ecosystem, ensuring seamless communication and data capture.
• Contribute to system-level design and roadmapping, always considering ways to deliver immediate, incremental value to users.
  Identify bottlenecks and propose optimizations as well as speed up processes - both in code and workflow - that drive faster deployment cycles.

• Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from initial specification to production release and maintenance.
• Embrace an agile mindset to plan, estimate, and execute tasks, balancing speed, iteration, and quality.
• Engage proactively in code reviews, design discussions, and team problem-solving.

• Technical Expertise
• 3+ years of experience delivering embedded software to production environments.
• Proficient in C/C++ with modern best practices and familiarity with STM32 or similar 32-bit ARM MCUs.
• Experience with both bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware designs.
• Strong knowledge of Linux-based build systems, debugging tools, and development workflows.
• Fast Iteration & Testing Mindset
• Demonstrated success in rapid prototyping, testing, and deployment cycles. Delivery to tight deadlines is a must.
• Experience building and maintaining automated test setups for embedded systems (hardware/software integration tests).
• Testing on real
• Collaboration & Communication
• Excellent communication skills-adept at working closely within a collaborative, very fast paced, engineering environment.
• Ability to coordinate across multidisciplinary teams (hardware, software, electronics) and quickly adapt to evolving requirements.
• Preferred Skills
• Industrial, production-focused firmware development experience.
• Expertise with communication buses and protocols (CAN, I2C, Ethernet, etc.).
• Exposure to electronics design and hardware/software co-design principles.
• Experience building OTA update systems for embedded devices.

• Performance: High standards, outstanding results,
• Impact: Big challenges, bigger results
• Commitment: All in, every time
• One team: One mission, shared success

• Private healthcare via Bupa with 24/7 medical helpline
• Life insurance
• Income protection
• Pension: 4+% employee with option to opt into salary exchange, 5% employer
• Employee Assistance Programme - mental wellbeing, financial and legal advice/support
• 25 holidays per year
• Full meals onsite in Wallingford
• Fun team events on and offsite, snacks of all kinds in the office
