As a Software Engineer (Internal Tooling), you will remove constraints that slow down hardware. Owning internal tools end-to-end, you will partner with hardware and test teams to spot friction, ship MVP solutions fast, and iterate relentlessly. Your projects could range from scalable CFD automation to design‑tool plugins and integrations, turning engineering pain points into repeatable, high‑leverage capabilities across the company.
Responsibilities
- Build internal tools end-to-end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance, independently or in small groups
- Partner with hardware/test engineers to uncover bottlenecks; propose and ship solution MVPs and iterate quickly based on feedback
- Integrate with third-party engineering tools and platforms (apps, APIs/SDKs, plugins, CLIs, etc)
Requirements
- Evidence of delivering high-impact tooling/automation that improves team efficiency
- Demonstrated ability to learn new tools/domains quickly (projects vary widely)
- Proficiency with TypeScript, Python, SQL (comfortable with AI Assistants)
- Experience with a major cloud platform (ideally AWS)
Preferred Qualifications/Experience
- Demonstrated bias toward shipping value quickly and iterating
- Front-end experience with React
- Experience in a fast-paced R&D or startup environment, with rapid prototype iteration times
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation and stock options
- Private Medical & Dental
- Cycle to work scheme
About Us
The mission of Cambridge Aerospace is to eliminate the risk of existential war in Europe. That risk comes from the air – low-cost drones and cruise missiles now manufactured in colossal volumes by our adversaries, ballistic missiles capable of ending the world as we know it, and a new generation of hypersonic weapons that evade every existing defence.
We’re building low-cost interceptors that defeat these threats, and the surveillance systems to detect and target them – at a cost taxpayers can afford, at the pace the threat demands, and with sovereign supply chains that assure delivery.
We have immense backing from the world’s best venture funds. We’re one of the fastest-growing defence technology companies in history. And we’re hiring the best engineers to prosecute the mission.
If you are in the top 1%, willing to work harder than you ever have, build technology better than anyone else, and contribute to the defining challenge of our time, now is the time to join us.
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
