Supporting final system integration, commissioning and real-world field trials with global military end users. Skills and Experience Required You will have a strong background in software architecture design and implementation for safety-critical or compliance-driven systems. Hands-on experience with C/C++ and Python in Linux real-time environments is essential, as is the ability to read electrical schematics and work across hardware and software boundaries. Experience implementing CI/CD processes for safety-critical software is required. Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 is advantageous, and experience with machine learning, OpenCV or CODESYS/PLC environments is beneficial. A background in automotive safety systems, defence, robotics or autonomous vehicle development would be highly relevant. Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent to a 2:1 minimum. The Package Basic salary of 80,000, with an annual bonus scheme that realistically returns 30% in a solid year, taking total cash comfortably into six figures, with a maximum potential of 40%. An 8% matched pension, free breakfast and lunch in the on-site canteen daily, and a 35 hour working week with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on-site, Monday and Friday from home, and a half day finish on Fridays. A 5,000 relocation allowance is available for the right candidate. Security clearance is required and will be company supported. If you are an experienced Software Architect who has governed CI/CD and safety-critical software processes in a complex engineering environment and want to shape something from the ground up in a high-growth defence technology business, we would like to hear from you.
