Embedded systems recruitment

Recruitment agency for embedded engineers.

Embedded C and C++, embedded Linux, real-time, system architecture: we hire the engineers who run software as close to the hardware as it gets, for defence, aerospace, space and industry. Fields where a bug cannot always be fixed with an update.

Hire an embedded software engineer

C, C++, increasingly Rust, microcontrollers, RTOS: an embedded engineer is judged on the constraints they have met (memory, real time, power, certification). We ask which target they worked on, at what criticality level, and what they had to debug on the hardware.

Hire an embedded Linux or IoT engineer

Yocto, drivers, BSP, connected devices: a profile between the system and the electronics. We look for engineers who have ported Linux to a board, not just built an application on top of it.

FAQ

Hiring in embedded, your questions.

What is an embedded systems recruitment agency?

An agency that hires engineers working on software close to the hardware: embedded, real-time, embedded Linux, system architecture. At Bluecoders, these searches belong to the Defence, Industry & Hardware practice, led by Caroline.

Do you hire for certified software (DO-178C, ISO 26262, EN 50128)?

Yes, we have hired a Tech Lead for safety-critical software, among others. The certification level is part of the brief: an engineer who has shipped software at the highest criticality is not searched for like an IoT developer, nor convinced with the same arguments.

Can you hire engineers eligible for security clearance?

Yes. We look for candidates who have already worked in protected environments, and we build the security clearance procedure into the timeline from the brief, so it does not block an accepted offer. Clearance is still granted by the State, at your company's request.

How long does it take to hire an embedded engineer?

For Traak, we hired an embedded software engineer in 15 days. That is not the norm: security clearance, site location and certification level often lengthen the search. We give you an estimate for your role in the first conversation.

How much does an embedded recruitment agency cost?

On a success basis: you only pay when the candidate starts. Fees are calculated on their gross annual salary, with a replacement guarantee during the probation period.
