Job description

C Software Engineer – Defence Sector – Cambridge

A growing Defence and Security company, based in Cambridge, is currently seeking an experienced C Software Engineer to contribute to the development of breakthrough technologies that will enhance the UK’s security against external threats.

You will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge systems architecture, ideally utilizing past firmware and embedded software tools. The projects you will be involved in will truly mind-blowing, challenging you on a daily basis.

It would also be ideally, though not essential, if you have previous knowledge and experience in Software-Defined Radio (SDR) and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS). There will also be a significant amount of algorithm development, so a strong mathematical background would be advantageous in this role.

The company has recently revamped cutting-edge labs, enabling development at the forefront of the sector. This means you will be working on brand-new developments using the latest technologies available.

Knowledge of other programming languages such as C++, MATLAB, or Python will also be required.

As this role involves working in the defence and security sectors, you will need to be able to obtain (or already hold) security clearance. If you have previous experience in the defence and security field and hold security clearance, this would be highly advantageous.

In addition to working within a growing company on some of the most fascinating projects, you will also be rewarded with an excellent starting salary (based on level of experience), bonuses, enhanced pensions, healthcare, gym membership, free lunches, and other excellent benefits you would expect from a larger organisation.

If you believe you are well-suited for this role, I suggest submitting an application now to avoid missing out on this career opportunity.

For more information, please feel free to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices Recruitment and Scientific Recruitment Specialists Newton Colmore, on [phone], or submit an application, and one of our team members at Newton Colmore will contact you.
