Senior Software Engineer for Edge AI Applications
Role specification: purpose, ownership, essential skills and desirable background
(ca. £55K)
1. Role purpose
UBIETY Technologies Ltd requires a senior software engineer to develop the software stack for industrial Edge AI
devices such as multiphase flow meters and medical imaging instruments. Each instrument couples an analogue
front end with an AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. The role works alongside an FPGA specialist, who owns the
programmable logic (PL) for deterministic timing, acquisition and high-rate data movement, and a Signal Processing
and Tomography engineer, who develops the reconstruction and flow algorithms in MATLAB and Python. The software
engineer owns the processing system (PS) side of the PS–PL boundary: register maps, DMA buffers, interrupts, device
tree, embedded Linux services for control, processing, diagnostics, industrial communication and user interaction,
and the backend processing and user-facing interfaces. A central task is to translate the MATLAB/Python reference
algorithms onto the PS — and, with the FPGA specialist, onto the PL — covering acquisition orchestration, waveform
capture, diagnostic extraction, path health checks, flow-computation support and data persistence. The three roles
operate as a single team, and broader cross-disciplinary collaboration is expected and valued.
2. Primary ownership
AreaExpected ownership
Embedded LinuxBoard software, Linux application services, boot/runtime configuration, logging, watchdogs and
deployment.
AXI-Lite control, AXI DMA integration, DDR buffer management, interrupt handling, packet
formats, deserialisation boundaries and PL bring-up tools.
Acquisition orchestration, waveform capture, diagnostic extraction, path health checks,
flow-computation support and data persistence.
Ethernet services, Modbus TCP register map, process-variable publishing, alarm/status words and
configuration access.
Browser-based or desktop UI for commissioning, operation, calibration, diagnostics, event logs and
service access.
Audit trail, protected calibration parameters, version traceability, configuration CRC, role-based
access and controlled update/rollback.
PS–PL integration
Backend processing
Industrial interfaces
User interface
Custody-transfer
integrity
3. Essential skills
Skill groupRequired competence
Embedded LinuxYocto or PetaLinux, U-Boot, kernel/device-tree awareness, systemd, cross-compilation, network
configuration and field update strategy.
Modern C++ and C for low-level interfaces, multithreading, bounded queues, binary protocol
handling, error handling, performance profiling and CMake/Make.
AXI-Lite, AXI-Stream, AXI DMA/CDMA, memory-mapped I/O, UIO/VFIO or kernel drivers,
interrupts, cache coherency, contiguous buffers, serial-link bring-up and deserialised packet
validation.
ADC sample streams, filtering, FFT, cross-correlation, time-of-flight estimation, interpolation, SNR,
clipping, gain and path diagnostics; translating MATLAB/Python reference algorithms into
efficient, validated embedded C/C++.
On-device inference of trained models on the MPSoC: Vitis AI/DPU or equivalent runtimes, ONNX
import, model quantisation and optimisation, fixed-point/integer pipelines and PS–PL partitioning
of the inference workload.
Modbus TCP, TCP/IP sockets, REST/WebSocket APIs, register scaling, engineering units, endian
handling and alarm/status design.
TypeScript with React/Vue/Svelte or equivalent, real-time charts, configuration screens, service
pages, role-based access and waveform snapshots.
Git, issue tracking, test automation, reproducible builds, logging, fault injection, diagnostics and
release documentation.
C/C++ backend
PS–PL interface
Signal processing &
algorithm porting
Edge AI deployment

Quality discipline
4. Desirable background
• AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, industrial instrumentation, test-and-measurement systems.
• Tomographic reconstruction or medical/industrial imaging pipelines (ultrasound, MRI, CT).
• Edge AI/ML: Experience in Edge AI tooling Vitis AI, model quantisation/pruning, TVM/TensorRT or equivalent,
and hardware-aware optimisation of ML inference. Interest or experience in SciML such as PINNs/PIML as well as
generic PyTorch/TensorFlow is a distinct advantage but not mandatory.
• Custody-transfer, legal-metrology, auditability, calibration locking, tamper evidence and secure device service access.
• OPC UA, MQTT, TLS/certificates, signed updates, A/B root filesystem deployment and factory-test automation.
