Deep Sea Electronics is a global leader in the design and manufacture of generator controllers, automatic transfer switch controllers, battery chargers, and vehicle and off-highway control systems. With over 200 employees across four continents, we supply our products to customers in more than 150 countries, both directly from our UK head office and through a well-established international distributor network.

Join the engineering team at Deep Sea Electronics Ltd, where you will design and deliver highquality embedded software for industrial Control and Automation applications. The role focuses on realtime control, industrial communications and functional safety (IEC 61508/IEC 62061), creating robust solutions for environments such as power generation, manufacturing, utilities and process industries. You will contribute across the product lifecycle from requirements and architecture through implementation, verification, certification and field support.

Requirements:

• Expert in C/C++ for microcontroller development
• Functional Safety: IEC 61508 (and/or IEC 62061); safety concepts (SIL, SFF, PFH), safety planning and verification
• Principles of Industrial Automation products: control theory basics (PID), sensors/actuators, transducers and signal conditioning
• Electrical principles
• Familiar with stage gated / agile development approaches
• Comfortable collaborating closely with electronics engineers on embedded systems
• Working to a high-quality standards
• Excellent team player with problem-solving and trouble-shooting capabilities
• Experience defining a task breakdown for a give piece of work and provide estimates
• Ability to translate requirements into a technical product specification
• Experience in working in a high-pace environment
• Enthusiastic and optimistic

• BEng or above in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Key Duties & Responsibilities:

• Design and implement C/C++ software for embedded devices (baremetal and RTOS) used in industrial control systems
• Develop realtime control algorithms (e.g., PID, statebased control) for sensors, actuators, and power systems
• Produce work break down structures and define work packages for execution in JIRA tasks and integration into high level plans
• Integrate with industrial control equipment and software, including PLCs, HMIs and SCADA systems
• Implement and validate industrial communication protocols: Modbus (RTU/TCP), CAN/CANopen/J1939, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, RS232/RS485
• Apply functional safety practices in line with IEC 61508/IEC 62061, including SIL determination, Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS), HARA/FTA/FMEA, and verification evidence
• Contribute to software quality by the use of coding standards (e.g., MISRA C/C++) and static analysis tools, performing code reviews and developing unit/integration tests
• Create test plans and perform functional product verification and validation activities
• Author and maintain engineering documentation: architecture, design descriptions, interface control documents, test plans, and safety lifecycle artefacts
• Collaborate closely with electronics, test & approvals, cybersecurity and product management to deliver cohesive solutions
• Support system integration, commissioning and troubleshooting at parent company and customer sites (UK and international travel required)
• Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, toolchains, CI/CD and development workflows (e.g., Git, Jira, code review)
• Mentor lessexperienced engineers; share knowledge through design reviews, brownbags and documentation
• Participate in sustaining activities for existing products, including defect resolution and targeted feature enhancements
