Embedded Software Engineer
Salary: £50,000 pa (depending on experience)
Cereus Ultrasonics Ltd. is an early-stage company, started in 2019 and based in Poole, Dorset, UK. Our first product is a ground-breaking downhole Ultrasonic well inspection tool for the oil and gas industry. The first version successfully launched early in 2022, with a further two variants of the technology planned utilising our ‘Cereus Engine’. After this first industrial phase, the company is planning to introduce these ground-breaking ultrasonic and acoustic solutions into other industrial sectors, with specific interest already generated for applications in medical and defence.
All applications using ultrasonic and acoustic transducers can benefit from the ‘Cereus Engine’.
The technology used within Cereus Ultrasonics is based on novel and advanced acoustic techniques, much of which is the culmination of many years of R&D undertaken by current Cereus Ultrasonics’ engineers working within the naval industry for sonar systems.
