We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join a specialist Future Systems Capability Software group supporting the development of solutions for the next generation of Air Defence Systems; developing evolving products whilst maintaining a reputation for safety, performance and dependability.
This role focuses on developing robust, maintainable software solutions across the full product lifecycle, from early concept and prototyping through to production and in-service support. You will work in a software engineering lab environment closely integrated with electronics, instrumentation and hardware teams, collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines to deliver high-quality, reliable test capability to meet programme delivery schedules.
This position suits a hands‑on software engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of software, hardware and electronics rather than purely desktop or web-based development.

- Developing software instantiations for future products
- Hands‑on engineering role requiring proactive engagement and initiative
- Working collaboratively with teams across the full software development lifecycle
Qualifications

Essential Skills
- Strong background in software engineering and its system-wide impact
- Collaborative and open development approach
- Experience across the entire software development process including target integration and documentation
- Familiarity with new tools, techniques and approaches to improve development efficiency
- Knowledge of DDS middleware and Real Time Operating Systems
- Understanding of standards such as DefStan 00‑55, DO‑178C or IEC61508
Desired Skills
- Data Science
- Data Management
Experience
- Proven experience developing software for engineering or hardware-integrated systems
- Experience delivering test systems or manufacturing/production test solutions preferred
- Experience working across the full development lifecycle from concept through deployment and support
- Experience working within multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
- Experience working in Java, C, C++
- Experience in additional languages such as Ada
