JavaDeveloper - Real-time Systems
Standard 8 is recruiting a Senior Java Developer for a Regulated engineering team building real-time, high-data systems used in live operational environments.

Day to day:
Building Java UI applications with JavaFX or Swing
Working in Linux environments

What You Need
5+ years’ Java background software engineering experience
Solid GUI development using JavaFX or Swing
Some C++ experience (at least a year)
Experience with real-time or high-throughput systems

Nice to Have
Linux optimisation and deployment experience
Networking fundamentals (IP protocols, Ethernet configuration)
Low-level Linux or driver interfacing
DSP, signal or image processing knowledge
Non-Negotiables
UK national with a valid UK passport for high level security clearance
