Develop your consultancy and software engineering skills with varied high tech projects

This established technical consultancy develops advanced software and hardware for government and commercial sector clients. Due to continued success, they are seeking an accomplished C/C++ and Linux software engineer to join their team.

Varied multidisciplinary projects mean that you could be working on areas such as diverse as DSP, image processing, or UI design. You can expect to work closely with counterparts from client organisations as well as colleagues from different technical backgrounds. You may also have opportunities to lead projects and mentor new colleagues.

You will need:

• A strong academic record, with a first or 2.1 in a numerate STEM discipline, mostly A or A at A-level grades, or equivalent. Whilst not essential, A relevant Master's or PhD would benefit your application.
• Good client-facing communications skills. Able to discuss technical subject matter with colleague
• Substantial commercial experience of software design and development in C or C++ and Linux, and familiarity with best practice. Front end coding skills in TypeScript/JavaScript and HTML would be useful.
• Full right to work in the UK, and ability to obtain a higher level (DV) UK security clearance. Typically this will require you to have British nationality and to have been resident in the UK for 10 years

This variety makes the role ideal for an experienced engineer looking to broaden their technical and consultancy skillset into areas such as image processing, interface design, or digital signal processing. This is a fully office-based, due to the nature of the work, but with some latitude for those requiring flexible arrangements. A highly competitive salary and benefits package, excellent pension scheme, and a performance-based bonus are on offer to the successful candidate.
