• Knowledge of software architecture and system integration
• Experience with unit testing, static analysis, and high-integrity coding
• Familiar with SCM and containerisation tools
• Understanding of TCP/IP networking
• Aerospace/defence industry experience

DESIRABLE SKILLS

• Experience with UML modelling tools (ideally IBM Rhapsody)
• MATLAB/Simulink for algorithm simulation and validation
• Knowledge of GPU acceleration (CUDA, OpenCL, HIP)
• Exposure to software assurance and static analysis tooling
• Experience in defence or safety-critical environments
• Familiar with CI/CD and DevOps practices

BENEFITS

• Competitive Basic Salary
• 6% Employers Contribution + 6% as a salary sacrifice
• Private Medical Insurance, Life Cover and Income Protection
• 25 days holiday
• 10 days full sick pay per year
