The Allegro team is united by a clear purpose—advancing technologies that make the world safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. With over 30 years of experience in semiconductor innovation, we bring that purpose to life across every part of the business—from breakthrough product development and customer success to how we show up for each other and the communities we serve.
The Opportunity
As a Senior member of our global software team, you will be the technical architect behind the firmware that drives our newest product introductions (NPI). You won't just write code; you will influence the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)—from hardware abstraction and register map definition to final product certification.
What You Will Do
Write high-efficiency, bare-metal, and RTOS-based C/C++ for ARM Cortex-M and proprietary cores.
Partner with Analog and Digital IC Design teams to define hardware abstraction layers (HAL) and device drivers for custom silicon.
Execute software strategies that meet rigorous industry standards (ISO 26262 / ASPICE), ensuring our firmware is safe for automotive and industrial deployment.
Act as a mentor for junior engineers, leading code reviews and championing engineering excellence within the Edinburgh site.
Utilize logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and oscilloscopes to troubleshoot complex hardware/software interactions.
Support Field Applications Engineers (FAEs) and Tier-1 customers with high-level firmware integration and troubleshooting.
Who You Are
You are an engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software. You are articulate, self-motivated, and passionate about solving the "impossible" problems in power electronics.
Bachelor’s Honours (2:1) or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
8–10 years of professional experience in embedded software development.
Expert C/Assembly: Deep knowledge of ARM Cortex-M architectures and peripherals (ADC, PWM, DMA, Timers).
Full SDLC Mastery: Proven experience taking a product from requirements gathering through to release.
Proficiency with Git/Bitbucket, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab).
Comfortable working in both Windows and Linux environments.
Desired Qualifications
Knowledge of Motor Control algorithms (FOC, BLDC).
Experience with Automotive protocols (LIN, CAN, AUTOSAR) or ASPICE process models.
Prior experience in safety-critical environments (Automotive, Aerospace, or Medical).
