About

• Company Description
• TTP is an employee-owned technology and product development consultancy, with a 40-year track record of helping ambitious clients solve complex challenges and bring innovative, commercially successful solutions to market.
• We invent, design, and manufacture impactful products and technologies across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, life science, energy, and communications – and at the intersection of engineering, physical science, and biology.
• Whatever your career stage, your expertise and creativity will be appreciated and nurtured from day one. You’ll dive straight into contributing to technical projects, solving complex real-world problems, and being a trusted and integral member of the team.
• Job Description
• As a Consultant Embedded Software Engineer at TTP, you will work in-person at our campus near Cambridge to work on the development of new technology. You will find a large breadth of embedded software work at TTP, for example, you could find yourself working in 5G communications and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, curing neurological disorders through neurostimulation, or creating tools for the development of new medical treatments.
• You will have the opportunity to work on multiple such projects at any one time, so over a year at TTP your experiences and applications will be vast, and you can expect to develop and expand your understanding of entirely new fields of science and technology rapidly.
• Alongside your technical work, you will also get the chance to develop as a consultant, engaging with clients to share your progress and making sure their requirements are understood and reflected in the software you build. Over time, you’ll have opportunity to take on more responsibility by leading projects, strengthening client relationships, and building business.
• You'll be part of a collaborative team of experienced software engineers who are not only available to support you, but actively enjoy sharing ideas, solving problems together, and learning from one another. We believe growth happens best in an environment where knowledge is shared freely and curiosity is encouraged. You'll receive mentorship and guidance when needed, but also the space and trust to take initiative, explore your interests, and shape your own development. You'll be encouraged to contribute early, take ownership of your work, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver impactful solutions.

Requirements

• Proactive and self-starting, with a strong sense of personal responsibility and a drive to make things happen.

You should be on track for a minimum 2:1 in Computer Science, Firmware, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline, with a strong academic record that reflects your capacity for rigorous, first-principles thinking.
• Fluency in at least one of Python, C, or C++, with a track record of building meaningful software for embedded devices. You should be able to both write high-quality code and engage effectively with code written by others.
• Collaborative and emotionally intelligent, able to build trust, energise those around you, and communicate complex technical ideas with clarity, empathy, and precision, regardless of your audience's background.
• Commercially aware and entrepreneurial, excited by the opportunity to turn breakthrough technologies into real-world products, ventures, and impact.
• Strategic and systems-minded, able to see the bigger picture, anticipate challenges and opportunities, and navigate ambiguity while keeping priorities sharp and focused.
• We're looking for those who don't just solve problems - but who seek them out, thrive on them, and elevate those around them while doing so.
