1,087 Arm jobs in the United Kingdom

A newly refurbished precision QA inspection department has just installed CMM PC-DMIS instruments and a Hexagon Absolute Laser Arm to undertake precise analysis of machined components

You'll be using these instruments to ensure these important components meet GD&T specifications, some of which are +/- 10 microns

The components are in small volume, often pre-production prototypes providing you with involvement in the R&D process, feeding back your analysis to the design team

You'll need a substantial quality control background in a precision engineering environment, preferably with hands-on experience in using CMM and laser arm instruments

We’re supporting a growing company involved in the development of a next-generation regulated device that brings together embedded control, user interface design, and complex electromechanical integration.

The device incorporates dual-microcontroller architecture with embedded software supporting both core functionality and GUI control. While detailed development is being carried out by an external design partner, our client is responsible for overall system oversight, from requirements definition through to validation and production readiness.

The Role:

You’ll take a leading role in ensuring the system is designed, tested, and released to the highest standards. This includes:

• Driving the definition and refinement of User and Functional Requirements
• Supporting architectural-level discussions across software, electronics, and mechanical domains
• Contributing to Risk Management activities and defining mitigation strategies
• Leading Verification & Validation planning and supporting hands-on system testing
• Providing technical oversight to external design partners and reviewing design outputs
• Supporting the transfer of the product into manufacturing and guiding design-for-production activities

About You:

• A systems thinker with a background in electronics, embedded software, or a combination of both
• Experienced in product development within regulated environments (e.g. medical, aerospace, defence, automotive)
• Able to define and interpret system-level requirements and translate them into structured engineering activities
• Familiar with hardware/software integration challenges and confident reviewing third-party design work
• Comfortable working across disciplines and guiding external partners to align with internal expectations
• Experience in risk analysis, verification/validation planning, and supporting formal test campaigns

This role would suit a Systems Engineer, Firmware Engineer, Electronics Engineer or Embedded Software Engineer with experience overseeing full product development cycles — especially where cross-disciplinary integration and system-level accountability are key.
