Concurrent Embedded Systems Developer, London

Erlang Solutions - - November 18, 2011

Erlang Solutions and the University of Kent are looking for a Concurrent Embedded Systems Developer to join the Erlang Solutions team in their London office.

The Role

The post-holder will be based at Erlang Solutions Limited (ESL) in London and will have specific responsibility for working on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project between the University of Kent and ESL. The post-holder will be instrumental in bringing the benefits of concurrent systems development using Erlang to the field of embedded systems; through investigation, analysis, software development and evaluation. A major aim of the project is to create a version of ESL’s development tools for designing and developing ARM based embedded systems, which will support a variety of hardware devices and be readily accessible for industrial users. The candidate will work closely with ESL and academic staff at the University of Kent, acting as a conduit for knowledge transfer to ESL.
 
Erlang Solutions Limited is a niche company specialising in the Open Source language Erlang, and its middleware OTP. The Company was founded soon after Erlang was released as open source in 1999, with the aim of filling a vacuum similar to that existing before companies such as SUSE and Redhat came in to support Linux. Areas of operation include Training, Consulting, Contracting, Recruitment, Conferences and System Development. An E-learning and hosting offering, as well as their own software distribution is under development. The Company will soon provide commercial support licenses for the Open Source release, acting as first and second line support on behalf of Ericsson, the company behind the language. For more information on ESL, please visit: http://www.erlang-solutions.com/
 
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) are one of Europe’s leading graduate recruitment programmes and this KTP will involve working with University of Kent experts in the project area. The post-holder will benefit from a generous training and personal development programme as part of the KTP scheme. The successful candidate will be encouraged to attain membership of a professional organisation and funding support may be available towards study for a higher degree.

The Person

Ideally, the candidate should have a recently attained undergraduate or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Systems Engineering or similar. The candidate should also have experience of a high-level functional or procedural programming language as well as experience of the C programming language. Excellent oral and written communication skills with an ability to give clear, concise presentations at industrial conferences will be essential.
