• Minimum 5 years’ software development experience.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented software design.
• Proven ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering teams.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Analytical thinker with a creative, problem-solving approach.
• Comfortable working directly with end-users and customers.
• Degree in Software, Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience developing security or defence command & control (C2) software.
• Understanding of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data.
• Knowledge of SQL databases and data manipulation.
• Real-time software design and development knowledge.
• Familiarity with machine learning techniques and classification methodologies.
• Scripting experience with Python or similar languages.
• Mathematical and statistical analysis abilities.
• Full UK driving licence and valid passport for occasional project-related travel.

The role is based in Cambridge with excellent transport links — including road, rail, and cycling routes. Hybrid working is offered, with 3 days per week expected in the office. You’ll join a highly skilled and supportive team, where your contributions will directly shape the future of their radar systems.
