More
We are working with an established UK technology and engineering business that delivers complex systems and solutions for customers in highly regulated and secure environments. We have multiple contract openings for Embedded Software Engineers, FPGA Engineers, and Electronics/Hardware Engineers in Derbyshire, fully onsite. Assignments are initially 6–12 months, with potential for longer-term work depending on project needs and deliverables. Day rates are flexible and negotiable depending on experience. These technically challenging projects involve complex systems where security, quality, and engineering standards are critical, with multiple projects and a strong pipeline of work.
