Team and role context

Our world is changing. And so are we. From our commitment to zero-carbon flight to cleaning up space, sustainability is at the heart of our purpose. What’s your next change?

Role fit If you have been developing software for approx 8+ years, enjoy working in a fluid environment and filling in the gaps for unclear requirements, have knowledge of machine-to-machine communication protocols, and are interested in building virtual spacecraft, then we might have a role for you!

Due to increased workload, the Simulation & Modelling team are looking for an experienced software engineer. This role will focus on designing and developing simulators and test benches that enable a wide range of departments to validate and verify spacecraft functionality. You will join a friendly UK team of 10+ engineers working closely with Architects and PMs. Career progression for this role is Architect, Expert or Systems Engineering.

How you will contribute to the team

• Work on Telecommunication, Earth Observation & Science missions projects like ARIEL, Vigil, ExoMars Rover, OneSat (and more) for ESA and the UK MOD
• Understand that your software is used for testing spacecraft software and hardware, which may require moving requirements and sometimes clarifying those requirements
• Work closely with other engineering teams to ensure the successful deployment and use of the test benches, knowledge sharing with Early Careers Engineers
• Technical requirements analysis, software design and implementation, technical follow-up of external teams, system integration, testing and delivery of the benches

About You

• Due to security restrictions most of our technology will be legacy / historic; comfortable with this
• Machine to Machine (M2M) / network protocols and experience with Linux/Unix (any distro) and Red Hat
• Object Oriented analysis & design using UML (or similar), with good knowledge of development domains, frameworks and utilities
• Excellent and proven C++ & Java programming skills, especially in robust client/server architectures
• Proven track record of managing the full software development life cycle, from initial requirements gathering through to final testing
