Job description

You’ll be involved across the full software engineering lifecycle, including:

Developing embedded software using C and/or C++
Working across bare-metal, RTOS and Linux-based embedded platforms
Designing, implementing, debugging and integrating software with hardware
Developing software for real-time and performance-constrained systems
Supporting software integration and testing
Investigating and resolving complex software and hardware integration issues
Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams
Contributing to version control, unit testing and modern development practices
Supporting the delivery of software from prototype through to deployed solutions

Requirements

We’re looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer with a strong background in developing software for complex, technically challenging environments.

You’ll ideally have experience with:

Commercial embedded software development using C and/or C++
Bare-metal, RTOS and/or embedded Linux
Software and hardware integration and debugging
Real-time, performance-constrained or hardware-constrained systems
Full software engineering lifecycle
Version control and unit testing
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Experience within Defence, National Security, Communications, Sensing, Electronic Warfare or other secure environments would be highly advantageous.

Security clearance is essential for this role - you must hold active MoD DV clearance. WHY CONSIDER IT?

This is an opportunity to work on complex, mission-critical defence technology, within a highly technical engineering environment.

You’ll be working on challenging embedded systems alongside experienced hardware, software and systems engineers, with the opportunity to contribute to technology that has a genuine real-world impact.

Up to £650 per day + potential extension to 12 months.

If you’re an MoD DV cleared Embedded Software Engineer with strong C/C++ experience and you’re available for an October start, I’d be keen to have a confidential conversation.
