Questions about these roles

How many embedded Software & Firmware jobs in the UK are there right now?

We are tracking 58 live vacancies across 38 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.

What do embedded Software & Firmware jobs in the UK pay?

The median advertised ceiling is £161,000, based on the 4 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £50,000 to £220,000. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.

Can these roles be done remotely?

26% are advertised as fully remote and 28% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.

Are these contract or permanent roles?

3% are contract or fixed-term and the remainder are permanent or unstated. A quoted day rate is treated as contract even when the advert does not use the word.

Which employers are hiring?

The most active right now are Newtoncolmore, Spire, Appliedintuition, Aegis Search and Circuit32. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.

What other skills do these roles ask for?

Most often Linux, C++, Machine Learning, Python and AWS. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.

How much does a embedded software & firmware specialist earn in the UK?

£161,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 193% above the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 54 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.

Can you work from home as a embedded software & firmware specialist in the UK?

31 of the 58 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 15 fully remote and 16 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.

Are there entry-level or graduate embedded software & firmware specialist jobs in the UK?

Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.

What job titles are used for this role?

Employers on this page advertise it as Embedded Software Engineer, Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Senior Embedded Engineer, Firmware engineer and Principal / Senior Embedded Software Engineer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.

How much experience do these roles need?

The largest group is mid level (69% of the page). Seniority is read from the job title, so a role that does not signal a level in its title is counted as mid-level.
