LEAD ENGINEER – REAL-TIME SYSTEMS / HARDWARE INTEGRATION



Salary: £70,000 – £75,000

Working Pattern: Primarily office-based



Avanti are supporting a specialist technology organisation developing advanced real-time systems used in demanding, real-world environments. Their engineering work sits close to hardware, combining low-level software development with sensor-driven data processing and high reliability requirements.



The team is growing and they are now seeking a hands-on Lead Engineer who can contribute directly to real-time development while also providing mentoring and technical guidance to a group of junior engineers.



The Role



As Lead Engineer, you will:

• Design and develop real-time, hardware-integrated software

• Write and maintain device drivers and low-level components

• Work primarily in Linux, interacting directly with physical hardware

• Review code, guide junior developers and support their technical development

• Help shape engineering best practice in a small, focused technical team



This role remains highly hands-on, with approximately 75 percent of your time spent on development.



What We’re Looking For



• Strong background in C, Go or C# (one is sufficient)

• Experience in real-time systems, hardware interaction or systems-level development

• Comfortable working with drivers, protocols and low-level data handling

• Previous experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers

• A systems thinker who enjoys solving complex, real-world technical challenges



Why This Role?



• Deeply technical environment focused on real-time, hardware-connected engineering

• Small, capable team where you will have meaningful influence

• Opportunity to work on technology used internationally in high-demand settings

• Stable, well-supported organisation with long-term growth
