You should be comfortable handling complex workloads across R&D, prototyping, and mission-critical production deployments. Primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Lead the development and implementation of high-level autonomous behaviours for unmanned vehicles. Design and optimise algorithms for obstacle avoidance, path planning, and mission-level autonomy. Work extensively with ROS2, DDS, and Linux-based systems to develop robust autonomy software. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including perception, navigation, and hardware engineers, to integrate autonomy solutions. Develop and maintain high-quality, well-documented code using C++ and Python. Conduct rigorous testing and validation of autonomy software in both simulated and real-world environments. Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to junior engineers and researchers. Balance R&D experimentation with production-level software deployment and optimisation. PERSON SPECIFICIATION Essential skills, knowledge and experience: Extensive experience in C++, with a focus on software architecture and algorithms. Strong understanding of autonomous system design, including motion planning, state estimation, and behaviour-based control. Experience working with Linux, including system-level debugging and performance tuning. Solid knowledge of real-time systems, distributed computing, and middleware communication frameworks. Experience developing and deploying software in an R&D and production environment. Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to innovate and iterate on autonomy algorithms. Strong verbal and written communication skills, capable of conveying complex technical ideas clearly. Desirable skills, knowledge and experience: Proven expertise in ROS or ROS2 and/or DDS based systems, Python. Experience with sensor fusion techniques (LIDAR, RADAR, cameras, IMUs). Knowledge of deep learning-based perception for autonomous systems. Experience with simulation tools such as Gazebo, CARLA, or Unreal Engine. Familiarity with real-time and embedded systems. Familiarity with cloud-based robotics and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). Familiarity with PX4 and MAVLink based flight control systems. Previous work in the defence, aerospace, or maritime autonomy sectors. Key behaviours that align with our commitment to excellence, collaboration and efficiency within the workplace: To be punctual and manage workload effectively to meet deadlines and priorities. Clearly convey ideas and information while actively listening to others. Work well with colleagues to achieve common goals and support team members as needed. Identify issues and develop practical solutions in a timely manner. Maintain a high standard of conduct, respecting confidentiality and addressing challenges respectfully. Ensure work is accurate, thorough and free from errors through careful review. Take ownership of tasks, following through on commitments. Maintain professionalism in client interactions. General accountabilities and responsibilities: To use personal judgement and initiative to develop effective and constructive solutions to challenges and obstacles in day-to-day activities and procedures within the specified role To maintain personal ability in, and appropriate use of, all relevant IT (Information and Technology) and other systems required to adequately perform the role To act ethically, with integrity and in the best interest of the business at all times To maintain a professional and supportive relationship with team members and other departments to deliver business objectives or deadlines To carry out any other duties as detailed by a member of the senior management team or authorised representative To keep good time management to minimise any wasted time and maximise productivity and effectiveness Health & Safety responsibilities: To ensure that the working area is a clean and a safe environment in compliance with the best practice and health and safety policies To ensure any equipment used is safe, within electrical test date and all guards and interlocks are working and in place To act safely and responsibly in line with company processes and Health and Safety procedures to ensure your safety and the safety of others To report any potential Health and safety hazards or violations to your line manager or directly to the QHSE Manager To ensure any PPE or work wear required or provided for the job is worn and checked regularly for wear and then reported when replacements required

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. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts. Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you. To discuss your requirements call ecm or email your CV. We will always ask before forwarding your CV. Please apply (quoting ref: CV27517 ) only if you are eligible to live and work in the UK. By submitting your details you certify that the information you provide is accurate.
