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.
