Description :
Your Responsibilities :
Reporting to the Senior Expert Engineer, you design, develop, and validate the embedded software and firmware that drives Powervamp’s GSE product range. You work across the full development cycle — from architectural design through hands\-on testing to production deployment — in close collaboration with hardware designers and a multidisciplinary engineering team. Your mission: deliver robust, reliable, and well\-documented embedded systems that meet the demanding performance and safety requirements of the aviation ground support environment.
Concretely, you will:
* **Design, develop, and validate firmware**: code, test, and debug system software and firmware in embedded systems; troubleshoot hardware/software interactions from signal level to system behaviour to ensure correct and robust operation in the field. * **Drive software architecture**: participate in architectural design decisions and contribute to technical specifications and design reviews that define how our products behave on the ramp. * **Optimise and maintain code quality**: analyse and refactor new and existing codebases for performance, reliability, and maintainability; apply structured code management and peer review workflows using version control tools. * **Perform hands\-on testing and debugging**: validate embedded systems with industry\-standard instruments including oscilloscopes and logic analysers; ensure your code meets functional and reliability requirements before it reaches a live airport environment. * **Support hardware development**: assist with PCB layout, design, and validation; contribute to Electrical CAD drawings including cable harness drawings; participate in electronic component selection and validation — bridging firmware and the hardware it runs on. * **Accelerate new product introduction**: support the transition from prototype to production; maintain clear and comprehensive technical documentation for code and system architecture to enable seamless handover and long\-term maintainability.
Profil recherché :
The Profile We Are Looking For :
* Bachelor’s degree (BEng/BSc) in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. * Solid embedded C experience, ideally on Microchip 16\- and 32\-bit devices; experience with STM32/ARM platforms is a strong advantage. * Hands\-on experience with embedded debugging tools: oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and similar instruments. * Electrical and electronic design background; PCB development experience (e.g. Altium Designer) is advantageous. * Familiarity with version control systems (Git/GitHub/GitLab) and structured software configuration management practices. * Methodical, detail\-oriented approach to problem\-solving: you read signal traces, isolate root causes, and document your findings clearly. * Good communicator and team player — comfortable contributing to cross\-functional technical reviews and working alongside hardware and mechanical engineers. * Field and product focus: you think beyond the bench — aware of how your firmware behaves in real\-world aviation service conditions and what that means for reliability, safety, and aftermarket support. * Adaptability: comfortable switching between new product development and legacy code maintenance, firmware and hardware support tasks, without losing sight of your delivery commitments. * Proactive and outcome\-driven, with a sense of initiative and a continuous improvement mindset.
Your Place in the Organization :
You report to the Senior Expert Engineer at Powervamp, Kempston, and work as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team spanning embedded, electrical, and mechanical disciplines. You collaborate closely with hardware designers, PCB developers, and product engineers — as well as with TLD engineering teams worldwide. Hierarchy at TLD is short and accessible: your technical contributions shape how our products perform in the field, and the path from hands\-on engineering to broader technical ownership is open to those who deliver.
Why You’ll Want to Apply :
TLD Powervamp is a business in full growth: new products are being developed, zero\-emission GSE demand is accelerating, and the firmware you write will control ground power units trusted by airlines and airports in 60\+ countries. You will work across the full embedded stack — from bare\-metal C on Microchip and STM32 microcontrollers to 400 Hz frequency converters and 28 V DC battery management systems — in an environment where technical depth is valued, hardware curiosity is rewarded, and international exposure comes with the role. At TLD, hierarchy is short: your voice carries weight. If you are energised by embedded challenge, hardware\-software co\-design, and a real contribution to the decarbonisation of aviation ground support — we’d love to hear from you.
