We’re a recruitment agency working in the electronics and embedded systems industry that specialise in hiring for automotive software engineer jobs in the UK.
From embedded systems developers to automotive engineers, we source candidates for all kinds of automotive software companies ranging from start-ups to global organisations.
Automotive manufacturers and designers are increasingly looking to recruit embedded software engineers with experience and knowledge of coding in languages such as C, C++ or Python. We specialise in finding candidates for automotive software jobs with this kind of programming experience and understanding the nuanced requirements of hiring with these skills in mind.
As well as this relevant embedded programming language competency, our automotive software engineer jobs usually require Bare Metal, RTOS, Linux or Windows experience. Our exclusive work in the electronics and embedded systems industry has given us plenty of experience finding software developers comfortable with a range of operating systems, as well as helping us to understand the specific challenges and benefits of each of these systems.
As well as designing and writing the code for new automotive embedded software, automotive software engineers will also have to refine and personalise their code for certain vehicles to allow for more tailored solutions and greater efficiency. We’re familiar with sourcing candidates with all the relevant experience at various stages of a software development project, assisting with design, testing, refinement and installation.
Research from BoldData has found that London has an 11% market share in the automotive industry, followed by Manchester with a 4.4% share and Kent with a 3% share. Therefore, these are some of the cities in the UK with the most automotive software engineer jobs, as they have the highest concentration of automotive companies.
Automotive software engineers belong to the automotive engineering industry. This sector focuses on the design and manufacture of automotive vehicles, and software engineers in this industry design programs and software that help these vehicles to function.
According to data from Glassdoor, the average annual salary for a general automotive software engineer is £48,793 in the UK. The average annual salary for a contract software engineer is £48,800 per year, so you can expect to earn slightly more than those in permanent roles when you’re an automotive software engineer contractor.
