RunTime

RunTime delivers permanent recruitment for embedded, firmware and FPGA engineers across Australia, New Zealand and the USA, backed by a reported 97 percent placement retention rate.

• Specialises in embedded C/C++, firmware, FPGA/VHDL, RTOS, PLC/SCADA, BESS/power electronics and mining automation engineering hires.
• Runs a structured process from stakeholder briefing and market research through candidate sourcing, technical interview shortlisting, skills testing, offer management and reference checks.
• Applies targeted sourcing, referrals and a curated candidate database rather than high volume resume submissions, then follows up with post hire check ins for both client and new hire.
• Client and candidate testimonials cite placements into senior firmware roles, including one filled within two weeks, and hiring managers crediting the team for refining unrealistic role specifications.

Best for: engineering teams needing permanent embedded, firmware or FPGA hires who have shipped hardware in safety or mission critical systems.

RunTime recruits specialised professional engineers for complex technical roles across embedded, firmware, FPGA, controls and mining automation disciplines.

• Screens candidates against how systems actually fail, applying technical interviews and skills tests before shortlisting only the top three candidates to clients.
• Covers technical niches spanning FPGA/VHDL, RTOS engineering, PLC/SCADA and BESS/power electronics roles for teams where mistakes carry real consequences.
• Operates from Australia with reach into New Zealand and the USA, working directly with engineering stakeholders to define realistic role requirements.

Best for: hiring managers seeking rigorously screened professional engineers for high risk, safety critical technical systems.
