Working as part of a multi-functional Flight Controls and Electronics department, the Graduate Embedded Software Engineer will play an essential role in taking control algorithm concepts for the Artemis eFoiler vessels (control surface actuation, flight control augmentation, autopilot functionality, power management, general control function) and bringing them to life. The Embedded Software Engineer will support the overall embedded control solution by implementing and testing firmware and software for the vessel electronic control units. The embedded software engineer will collaborate with ATL simulation tools engineers to validate control systems ahead of real-life testing.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES / ACCOUNTABILITIES:
- Encode, compile and deploy control laws and algorithms for various boat systems including control surface actuation, flight control augmentation, and autopilot functionality to vessel electronic control units.
- Perform simulation of code and algorithms.
- Support and participate in system validation/verification testing.
- Support calibration and on-water testing.
- Work closely with the rest of the systems team to ensure the full eFoiler package is of the highest technical and quality standards.

The Company
Artemis Technologies, led by double Olympic gold medallist yachtsman Dr Iain Percy OBE, is an applied technologies spin-off from the successful America’s Cup professional sailing team, Artemis Racing.
The company name, ‘Artemis’, is that of the classical Greek goddess: a protector of nature, and our mission is to lead the decarbonisation of the maritime industry, and to develop Artemis Technologies into the clear market leader in high-speed zero-emission vessels and propulsion systems.
Background
Based on its innovative intellectual property developed from over a decade of high-performance yacht racing by Artemis Racing, and its expertise as the world’s leading high-performance maritime design and applied technologies company, Artemis Technologies is the lead partner of the Belfast Maritime Consortium, which has won a £33 million UK Government Strength in Places Fund grant to develop zero emission ferries, a project that will revolutionise the future of maritime transport.
We are developing our engineering operations as part of what is planned to be the UK’s most advanced marine composites design and manufacturing facility, involving our key partners, suppliers, and customers.
Location
Unit 1 Oakbank, Channel Park, Queens Road, Titanic Quarter, Belfast, BT3 9DT
For an interim period in 2022 some roles may be working out of our Lisburn office and our Belfast office.
Our Mission
To lead the decarbonisation of the maritime industry and to become the market leader in high-speed zero-emission vessels and propulsion systems.
