Senior Squad Lead - Embedded Systems and Low-Level Engineering

\n

London (Relocating to Newcastle)

\n

T2M Resourcing are helping our client to build a newly established defence and deep tech consultancy where you’ll get that start up mentality back without the politics and infighting.

\n

You’ve spent years shipping code at scale. You’re exceptional at it. But somewhere between your fourth performance review cycle and your third reorg, you started wondering whether this is what engineering was supposed to feel like.

\n

\n
• Due to programme security requirements, this role is open to sole UK nationals only.
\n
• Candidates must be eligible for or already hold SC clearance.
\n
• Tools: Embedded C, C++, Rust.
\n
• Newcastle onsite (relocation considered)
\n
• Up to £130K
\n

What will you be doing?\n

As Senior Squad Lead – Embedded Systems and Low-Level Engineering key responsibilities will include:

\n

Leading a pod/squad of 6 developers on a range of embedded systems work, typically in C/C++ and/or Rust in real time and safety critical environments.

\n

You’ll have broad experience in working with peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN), industrial platforms and comms, as well as modern version control working on a range of defence systems from drones, defence AI and intelligence to command-and-control systems.

What are we looking for?\n

To be successful as Senior Squad Lead – Embedded Systems and Low-Level Engineering, you will have the following skills and experience:

\n

There comes a point in some engineering careers where the prestige stops mattering, the stock options vest and the endless internal tooling and stack rankings start replacing the thing you actually got into engineering for.

\n

Solving complex engineering problems with brilliant people, you’ll be someone who misses that feeling.

\n

You’ll be a curious leader, with high EQ, who enjoys solving stakeholder problems and a track record of performant pod or squad leadership, ideally with experience in low level embedded in C/C++ and/or Rust.

What can you expect?\n

Big Tech compensation is well understood. What’s less understood is what it costs you, if you flinch when you receive a slack notification, maybe it is time to consider alternatives?

\n

This is the counter-offer: a highly competitive salary, without the London cost of living eating most of it, at a company with some incredible investment and international network.

\n

You’ll help shape the culture, the engineering standards, and the kind of team this becomes.

Why Newcastle?\n

Why not Newcastle?

\n

With a strong push to move roles out of the city, EPAM, Accenture, PWC, the DWP, the HMRC, the Treasury and even the Home Office either already have a presence here or are actively expanding, and the kind of salary that would feel tight in Zone 2 will afford you a life in Newcastle.

\n

Outside of work we have Hadrian’s Wall, the Angel of the North, the Tyne Bridge, the Moors, the Pennies, the Yorkshire Dales and the lake district within a stone’s throw, along with some of the best climbing, running or cycling routes in the country. Jonny Wilkinson even kicked his World Cup winner here too.

\n

T2M Resourcing is an equal opportunities employer.
