The versatility of Python is what makes it an increasingly popular choice for electronics and embedded system businesses. As one of the best recruiters in the UK in this sector, KO2 is uniquely positioned to match the ideal candidates to the right roles.
It’s becoming increasingly popular for companies to automate as much of their testing as possible, keeping manual testing to a minimum. When developing automated test solutions, the preferred language of choice is Python. Although LabVIEW and TestStand are popular, National Instruments is an expensive option which many companies can’t afford or don’t feel is value for money.
As a specialist recruitment agency in the engineering industry, we have experience placing Python software engineers for a wide range of different purposes. This can include working with Python for automated test purposes, using Python to either develop the test framework or if the framework is already in place, using Python to develop the test scripts.
For businesses that don’t have any test framework, we work with test architects who have experience building and developing Python test frameworks from scratch. We also work with Python test developers with experience developing Python test scripts and adding them to an existing test framework.
With 25 years of experience recruiting in this niche sector of the industry, we have the knowledge and experience to know which type of Python developer is needed for each requirement. Our Python recruitment experience comes from working with many companies in Medical Devices, IoT, Consumer and Smart Metering who have wanted to develop Python automated test solutions.
According to data from Indeed, the average annual salary for a Python developer in the UK is £83,422. This is likely to be lower when you’re just starting out in the career, but it is a job that pays very well across a range of industries, especially if you live and work in London.
A study from 3PTechies found that Manchester, London, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Cardiff were the top five UK cities that paid programmers the most money for their roles. Unsurprisingly, these cities are some of the most popular places to work as a programmer, particularly London and Cambridge which are both known for their high number of start-up companies.
Python is a programming language, so Python engineers are software engineers or developers that have specialised in a particular kind of coding. The role belongs to the software development industry, but Python engineers can find jobs in many different sectors, as the language can be used to write programs for robotics products, data analysis, application development, and graphic design.
When deciding whether Python or C++ is the better programming language, you need to consider what it is you’re actually using the language for. Python is better suited to machine learning programs and rapid prototyping, whilst C++ works better for fast-running software, embedded systems programs and visual design programs. You can read more about the comparison between Python and C++ in this article.
If you’re a software developer with Python experience, we would love to speak to you and find out more about what you’re looking for.
