Careers at Ttp1

You’ll join a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists working on our core automation platform, from first prototypes through to production systems. You’ll design, implement and test firmware that runs on ARM microcontrollers, work directly with hardware on the bench, and help shape technical decisions across firmware, electronics and the wider system. This is not a role confined to the firmware team: you may spend as much time working with electronics, mechanical, automation and systems engineers, and with biologists, as you do with other firmware or software engineers. You’ll need to enjoy crossing disciplinary boundaries and learning enough about the wider system to help make it work as one coherent whole. In this role, you’ll: Own firmware development for key parts of our core technology, from requirements and architecture through implementation, verification and support in production. Write and review high-quality C for ARM microcontrollers (primarily STM32), focusing on robust, maintainable and testable code. Design and maintain automated tests for embedded firmware, including unit, integration and hardware-in-the-loop, and integrate them into continuous integration workflows. Turn system needs into clear firmware requirements and interfaces, working directly with electronics, mechanical, automation and software engineers, plus biologists. Make and communicate technical decisions within your area, balancing engineering rigour, maintainability and delivery speed, and support other engineers through design discussions and code reviews. Debug complex embedded-system issues using tools such as debug probes, oscilloscopes, multimeters and logic analysers, getting to the root cause of tricky problems. Use Linux-based tools and development environments as part of your day-to-day work. Support and occasionally develop custom test equipment for internal use, helping the wider team move faster. Use higher-level languages such as Python, C# or Java to build supporting tools and simple GUIs for debugging, testing or internal users. Depending on your experience, you may also: Turn your hand to electronics design and prototype modification when needed, working with electronics engineers to shape interfaces and resolve cross-discipline issues. Develop and optimise hard real-time algorithms for motion control, sensing or safety-critical functions. Use Docker and containers to create reliable, repeatable development and test environments. Contribute to embedded Linux software and the interfaces between it and our microcontroller firmware. About you You enjoy seeing firmware come to life in real hardware, and you like being close to the bench, motors and sensors rather than hidden away from the physical system. You are comfortable owning firmware end to end, from first requirements and architecture through to code that ships, and you get energy from solving problems with people from different technical backgrounds. We’re looking for: A strong track record of designing and delivering embedded systems, with the judgement to take ownership and make pragmatic technical decisions independently. Extensive professional experience developing firmware in C and/or C++ on ARM microcontrollers, ideally STM32. Strong experience developing and maintaining automated tests for embedded systems, including using them within continuous integration workflows. Confidence working directly with hardware and independently debugging complex systems at both code and signal level. Strong skills in interpreting component datasheets and electronics schematics, and using them to inform design and debugging. A collaborative, entrepreneurial approach, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs, support other engineers and solve problems with people from very different disciplines. Cellular Origins is currently based on the TTP Campus, within purpose-built sustainable offices, labs and green surroundings, 10 miles south of Cambridge. Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and collaboration, while providing you the freedom to do your best work. Our employee benefits include: Annual bonus 25 days holiday Employer pension contribution of 10% of salary Private medical insurance for employees and dependants Enhanced family friendly leave Life insurance worth 6x salary Electric car leasing scheme Cycle to work scheme Season ticket loan

As a Summer Intern at TTP, your work over 10 weeks will see you working alongside consultants from a range of academic backgrounds, from engineers and computer scientists to physicists and biologists – experiencing technology consulting first hand. Over the course of your placement, you will contribute directly to live client and internal projects, applying your own knowledge to solve problems, build prototypes in the lab, and explore new areas of technology. You’ll combine using your engineering skillset to support multi-disciplinary project teams inventing new products and technologies, with learning more about the commercial acumen that drives projects forward. You’ll demonstrate leadership, build collaborative relationships with stakeholders and ultimately work towards understanding the industries and disciplines we work across. We believe growth happens best in a collaborative environment where knowledge is shared freely and curiosity is encouraged – our non-hierarchical culture gives you the freedom to explore projects that reflect your own interest. You'll receive mentorship and guidance when needed, but also the space and encouragement to take ownership of your work. By the end of the internship, you will have first-hand experience of how engineering and science are applied in a commercial context, as well as a clear sense of what it’s like to work in a fast-paced, innovative environment like ours. Our internships are also a great pathway into a career, as we consider all our interns for graduate roles. Deep intellectual curiosity and inventiveness, with a desire to understand how things work at a fundamental level. You should have an academic record that reflects your capacity for rigorous, first-principles thinking - being on track for a minimum 2:1 in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a closely related discipline, with strong accompanying A-Levels (or equivalent, i.e. IB qualifications). Commercially aware and entrepreneurial, excited by the opportunity to turn breakthrough technologies into real-world products, ventures, and impact. Proactive and self-starting, with a strong sense of personal responsibility and a drive to make things happen. Collaborative and emotionally intelligent, able to build trust, influence stakeholders, energise those around you, and communicate complex technical ideas with clarity, empathy, and precision, regardless of your audience's background. Strategic and systems-minded, able to see the bigger picture, anticipate challenges and opportunities while considering the commercial aspects of technology product development, and navigate ambiguity while keeping priorities sharp and focused. We're looking for candidates who want to impact the industry both commercially and technically; those who don't just solve problems - but who seek them out, thrive on them, and elevate those around them while doing so. We recruit on a rolling basis, so although there is no application deadline, the advert will close once all spaces have been filled. We recommend applying early for the best chance. You must have completed at least 2 years of your degree when your internship begins, so students at the beginning of second year are welcome to apply. The length of this internship can be flexible, but we ask for minimum commitment of 8 weeks and recommend 10, starting in July 2027. TTP operates from an award-winning campus in green surroundings, just south of Cambridge. This is a paid internship with generous benefits, including free accommodation in Cambridge (subject to availability) and free lunch, as well as a wide range of clubs to join covering sports and social activities.
