Location: Abingdon, Oxfordshire (hybrid working available)
Overview
An innovative organisation specialising in engineering design, advanced manufacturing, and materials development is seeking a Software Engineer to develop bespoke software platforms supporting component design, alloy optimisation, additive manufacturing, and quality assurance workflows.
This role requires strong technical depth, particularly in C++, alongside experience in cluster computing or web application development. The successful candidate will collaborate with engineers and scientists to deliver scalable, production‑grade solutions used in high-performance applications such as turbine components and advanced 3D printing.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain modules across multiple custom software platforms.
- Build and integrate tools for simulation, data analysis, component design, and workflow automation.
- Develop scalable services, including wrapping in-house and third‑party tools.
- Contribute to cloud‑based and distributed solutions (AWS/Azure), following modern DevOps practices.
- Support use cases including complex component design, materials optimisation, additive manufacturing, and production monitoring.
- Work within agile processes, contributing to requirements, testing, and iterative delivery.
- Degree (2:1 or above) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.
- Strong programming expertise in C++ (in-depth knowledge required), plus Python and/or C#.
- Experience in cluster computing and/or web application development.
- Solid understanding of object‑oriented design and software engineering principles.
- Experience with agile methodologies and test‑driven development.
- Ability to deliver complex technical solutions independently in a multidisciplinary environment.
- Knowledge of 3D geometry, CAD integration, or simulation tools (FEA, CFD).
- Familiarity with CI/CD, containerisation, and infrastructure‑as‑code tools (e.g. Terraform).
- Experience or interest in machine learning applications within engineering contexts.
Ideal Profile
An early to mid‑career software engineer (2–5 years’ experience) with strong technical foundations and demonstrable depth in C++, ideally with exposure to distributed or web‑based systems, and an interest in applying software expertise within advanced manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defence, or energy.
