Develop embedded software solutions for cutting-edge UK defence technology

to £80,000 DoE + Benefits

This company is growing strongly with projects in various areas of national defence and are seeking a skilled Embedded Software Engineer to join the team. These projects are all specifically related to UK defence and so interested candidates will need to be British Citizens to be considered for this role. Whilst the exact nature of these projects is kept secret, they utilise advanced technologies and often require the development of brand-new techniques to solve very challenging problems.

Whilst growing they are still a small team with a start-up atmosphere where roles aren t rigidly defined and hierarchy is minimal. New ideas and project directions are welcomed from anyone, and everyone is empowered to represent the business at customer meetings and conferences. You should expect to put your skills to use on a wide array of different projects with varying requirements. Some will be early-stage feasibility studies which may not include any programming while others will run through to the production of prototypes or demonstrator units.

Requirements:

• Demonstrable commercial-grade experience in embedded software development with a proven track record of designing and implementing solutions to real-world problems.
• Strong proficiency with Linux and programming in C, plus at least one other relevant language such as C#, C++ or MATLAB.
• Knowledge in areas such as bare metal and RTOS software development, embedded software debugging methods, high-level software architecture, electronics development, or scripting for test would be highly advantageous.
• Relevant degree demonstrating strong academic foundations including top A Level grades or equivalent.
• British Citizen eligible for UK security clearance.

Remuneration package is strong with good base salary and excellent benefits. For security reasons this is an in-office only role, no forms of hybrid or remote working are possible.

Become the founding member of this medical device software development team

On the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire, this diagnostics company develops medical instrumentation that provides accessible and timely results for public health purposes. Their system uses a combination of embedded C running on an RTOS, A React-Native app running on Android, and centralised data collection based on the LAMP stack and MariaDB.

With products already on the market, they are seeking to move their software development in house, and are seeking an experienced and adaptable Senior Software Engineer to form the nucleus of their software team. The process of taking on board software development will be gradual, and supported by current (external) developers, so immediate familiarity with the entire stack isn’t expected; however, a strong understanding of embedded development, and prior experience of developing software for medical devices (and therefore a knowledge of the associated medical software standards) will be needed.

As the company is still at an early stage, you may be occasionally required to help out in other (non-software) functions of the company - you will therefore need an accommodating and adaptable outlook as well as an enthusiasm for work which will have a very substantial positive impact.

You will need:

• A strong academic background in Computer Science, Electronics or similarly applicable subject.
• Substantial experience as a software engineer, including software development for medical devices.
• Excellent coding skills in embedded C.
• A can-do attitude, happy to dive into new technologies and learn new skills as needed (or indeed to help out with non-software tasks as the need occasionally arises).
• Full existing right to work in the UK without restriction, time limit, or sponsorship.

Not essential, but useful: real-time operating systems, React Native, Android, LAMP, C# or Python.

If you’re looking for a role that will make a massive positive impact in the world, whilst at the same time becoming the founding member of a software team, then this may be for you. The role is on-site in a pleasant countryside location. A highly competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidate.

Become the founding member of this medical device software development team

On the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire, this diagnostics company develops medical instrumentation that provides accessible and timely results for public health purposes. Their system uses a combination of embedded C running on an RTOS, A React-Native app running on Android, and centralised data collection based on the LAMP stack and MariaDB.

With products already on the market, they are seeking to move their software development in house, and are seeking an experienced and adaptable Senior Software Engineer to form the nucleus of their software team. The process of taking on board software development will be gradual, and supported by current (external) developers, so immediate familiarity with the entire stack isn’t expected; however, a strong understanding of embedded development, and prior experience of developing software for medical devices (and therefore a knowledge of the associated medical software standards) will be needed.

As the company is still at an early stage, you may be occasionally required to help out in other (non-software) functions of the company - you will therefore need an accommodating and adaptable outlook as well as an enthusiasm for work which will have a very substantial positive impact.

You will need:

* A strong academic background in Computer Science, Electronics or similarly applicable subject.

* Substantial experience as a software engineer, including software development for medical devices.

* Excellent coding skills in embedded C.

* A can-do attitude, happy to dive into new technologies and learn new skills as needed (or indeed to help out with non-software tasks as the need occasionally arises).

* Full existing right to work in the UK without restriction, time limit, or sponsorship.

Not essential, but useful: real-time operating systems, React Native, Android, LAMP, C# or Python.

If you’re looking for a role that will make a massive positive impact in the world, whilst at the same time becoming the founding member of a software team, then this may be for you. The role is on-site in a pleasant countryside location. A highly competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidate.

Keywords: Medical Device, Embedded C, RTOS, Android, React Native, LAMP, Mission-Driven, Cambridge

Develop embedded software solutions for cutting-edge UK defence technology

to £80,000 DoE + Benefits

This company is growing strongly with projects in various areas of national defence and are seeking a skilled Embedded Software Engineer to join the team. These projects are all specifically related to UK defence and so interested candidates will need to be British Citizens to be considered for this role. Whilst the exact nature of these projects is kept secret, they utilise advanced technologies and often require the development of brand-new techniques to solve very challenging problems.

Whilst growing they are still a small team with a start-up atmosphere where roles aren’t rigidly defined and hierarchy is minimal. New ideas and project directions are welcomed from anyone, and everyone is empowered to represent the business at customer meetings and conferences. You should expect to put your skills to use on a wide array of different projects with varying requirements. Some will be early-stage feasibility studies which may not include any programming while others will run through to the production of prototypes or demonstrator units.

Requirements:

* Demonstrable commercial-grade experience in embedded software development with a proven track record of designing and implementing solutions to real-world problems.

* Strong proficiency with Linux and programming in C, plus at least one other relevant language such as C#, C++ or MATLAB.

* Knowledge in areas such as bare metal and RTOS software development, embedded software debugging methods, high-level software architecture, electronics development, or scripting for test would be highly advantageous.

* Relevant degree demonstrating strong academic foundations including top A Level grades or equivalent.

* British Citizen eligible for UK security clearance.

Remuneration package is strong with good base salary and excellent benefits. For security reasons this is an in-office only role, no forms of hybrid or remote working are possible.
