Low level embedded C/C++ for a range of challenging security projects
Join a team of scientists and engineers working on stimulating and demanding low level software and hardware projects for clients in the defence sector. The team encourages task ownership and independent thought, and you would have significant influence over a group intent on providing first class levels of performance to their clients.
Leading feasibility studies on topics such as cyber security, through to developing demonstrators and delivering operational systems, your skills and experience in software development will be continually stretched. You may have the chance to take on new coding languages such as Rust, as well as continuing to expand your skills in embedded C and C++. The work could involve innovative image analysis applications, digital signal processing or developing Software Development Kits that allow clients to easily implement solutions.
To be considered for the position, you will need:
* Established and demonstrable software skills with embedded C/C++, and familiarity with Python, HTML, TypeScript / JavaScript
* A good appreciation for elegant and efficient software design, with previous experience using source control systems such as Subversion and comfortable with configuring Linux systems
* Previous experience mentoring or leading a team in the development of real-world systems
* An exemplary record of academic achievement, including a first-class degree or PhD in Computer Science, Physics or similar technical subject, backed by complimentary A-Levels at grade A or above
* Excellent communication and presentation skills
* Please note: due to the defence related nature of our client’s work, only UK citizens able to achieve a high level of security clearance will be considered.
Security and in person collaboration is important to the company so the work is based at their offices and labs, however some flexibility is available around their core hours of work (10am - 4pm).
A competitive remuneration package is available to successful candidates including a generous employer contribution pension, and annual performance related bonuses.
