Want to write C++ for the team that is defining the future of technology in the defence industry? Defence experience isn't required, so if you've fancied moving into the sector, this is a strong way in. My client designs and builds complex defence systems. Their R&D team works three to five years ahead of live programmes, figuring out what the next customer requirement will be. Small, multi-disciplined team: software, controls, electronics, physics. And they're investing in how software gets built, with more modular code, cleaner Git workflows and proper testing coming in. The role You'll design and build system software, front end and back end, for R&D projects. Then take it beyond the desk: integrating it on prototype equipment and analysing trials data to shape the next upgrade. Lots of variety. Plenty of maths. What you'll do Design and develop new software in C++, to MISRA standards Build graphical user interfaces (Currently QT, but plans to use other technologies too) Deploy software on Linux (Red Hat and Ubuntu) and look after the systems it runs on Write interface software for external hardware and third-party software Analyse trials data properly, and write it up for technical and non-technical audiences Get hands-on with integration on prototype equipment Keep code under control in Git What you'll bring C++ strength relative to your experience A degree in software, computer systems, maths, physics or similar An analytical, problem-solving mindset Comfort explaining technical work to people at all levels Curiosity, and happy picking up new tech and methods Willingness to travel occasionally, UK and abroad Nice to have: Qt, Python/bash scripting, OpenCV, CUDA, experience on real-time or mission-critical software. Why it's worth a look 4 day working week Real variety: code, maths, hardware, trials Joining as the team modernises how it builds software, so your ideas count Training to fill any gaps Occasional UK and international travel, with some unsocial hours at times. Interested, or know someone who'd be good? Drop me a message and I'll talk you through it, including who the client is.
