Embedded Software Lead

Embedded Software Lead

Adder products sit at the point where software quality becomes customer confidence. When your customers run mission-critical operations, “good enough” isn’t good enough. Reliability, performance and disciplined engineering are the product. 

We’re looking for an Embedded Software Lead to head our Embedded Platform Team and take ownership of the software foundation that underpins both today’s and next-generation IP-based KVM solutions. This is a pivotal leadership role, evolving a proven legacy platform while accelerating innovation across a cutting-edge multimedia product range.

You’ll bring exceptional technical judgement, setting architecture and technical direction, making sound decisions under uncertainty, spotting risk early, and driving root-cause thinking. You’ll also be a true team leader, coaching engineers, raising engineering standards and ensuring rigorous quality practices (reviews, testing, CI, static analysis) are part of the day-to-day. 

Technically, you’re an expert in embedded C/C++ on Linux, particularly on resource constrained hardware, with deep real-time systems instincts and the ability to debug across hardware/software boundaries. Experience with IP networking and multimedia (DisplayPort/HDMI, video, audio, USB) will help you hit the ground running. 

If you want a role where engineering excellence is visible, valued and relied upon, this is it.

Innovation: We are passionate about new ideas and ways of doing things, sharing our knowledge and championing others success.

Positivity: We carry out our work with transparency and integrity, supporting each other to perform to the best of our abilities.

Embracing Change: We seek to challenge and test established ways of doing things and adopt strategies to continuously improve and benefit our ways of working.

Collaboration: We believe in the power of effective relationships, to support each other and work together to solve problems.

You must be eligible to work in the stated location.
