Job Description:

Software Engineer - Embedded & Safety-Critical Systems

Location: Cardiff

A newly formed mid-sized technology firm, created through the merger of two established engineering companies (one UK-based, one US-based), is seeking skilled Software Engineers to join their growing team. The company focuses on delivering cutting-edge embedded software and hardware solutions for high-integrity systems used in aerospace and defence applications.

About the Role

We're looking for engineers passionate about solving complex problems in critical systems. You will design and build robust software solutions for highly regulated environments, including avionics systems and submarine control interfaces. You will work as part of a collaborative, cross-functional engineering team based in Cardiff or Cheltenham.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain real-time embedded software adhering to safety and quality standards.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and test engineers for seamless integration.
• Engage in the full software lifecycle, from requirements to verification and delivery.
• Contribute to process improvements and technical best practices.

What You'll Need

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronics, Mathematics, or related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Proficiency in C or C++.
• Desirable: experience with RTOS, VXWorks, Ada, DO-178, device driver development, or embedded display technologies.
• Embedded systems experience is a plus but not essential.
• Familiarity with safety-critical environments is advantageous.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to work in a flexible, low-bureaucracy environment that values productivity, transparency, and mutual trust. We combine the best aspects of large-scale and agile companies to create a workplace where engineers can do meaningful work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

What We Offer

• Emphasis on work-life balance and employee autonomy.
• Participation in highly respected defence and aerospace programmes.
• Supportive, down-to-earth company culture.
