We are BAE Systems, and you will join a large, collaborative software team working on multiple software projects for existing and new customers. Our team operates in a fast-paced environment and develops highly visible, mission-critical software for deployment within complex Naval Ship environments. We offer hybrid and flexible working arrangements, with locations including New Malden, Frimley, Portsmouth, Filton Bristol and Dorchester, and an average of one day on site subject to business needs. We provide a purpose-driven career, meaningful work, lifelong learning, tailored rewards, support for financial and personal wellbeing, and an inclusive culture where people can thrive and feel proud of the difference they make.

Requirements

  • We require software development experience in a structured engineering environment.
  • We require experience with CI and automated testing.
  • We require familiarity with using and integrating third-party software technologies.
  • We require the ability to understand technical guidance within a DevSecOps approach and translate this into useful, reusable design and code artefacts.
  • We require an academic qualification in a STEM-related subject, or equivalent experience.
  • We require the ability and willingness to become recognised as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer through an appropriate recognised professional institution.
  • Please note that some roles may be subject to security and export control restrictions, and all applicants must as a minimum achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard. Many roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting and typically 5 to 10 years of continuous residency in the UK depending on the vetting level required.
