Job description

Company Overview

TTP is an employee‑owned technology and product development consultancy, with a 40‑year track record of helping ambitious clients solve complex challenges and bring innovative, commercially successful solutions to market. We invent, design, and manufacture impactful products and technologies across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, life science, energy, and communications – and at the intersection of engineering, physical science, and biology. Whatever your career stage, your expertise and creativity will be appreciated and nurtured from day one. You’ll dive straight into contributing to technical projects, solving complex real‑world problems, and being a trusted and integral member of the team.

Job Description

You will work in‑person at our campus near Cambridge to develop software solutions – from concept generation and algorithm design to implementation in embedded and cloud‑based resources. The work will vary by project, ranging from developing neural networks for human‑multi‑robot collaborative teams, building AI‑driven models, to creating an app that helps people with specific health problems. Over a year you will work on multiple such projects, expanding your understanding of diverse fields of science and technology rapidly.

Alongside your technical work, you will develop as a consultant, engaging with clients to share your progress and ensure their requirements are understood and reflected in the software you build. Over time, you will have the opportunity to take on more responsibility by leading projects, strengthening client relationships, and building business. You’ll be part of a collaborative team of experienced software engineers who enjoy sharing ideas, solving problems together, and learning from one another. You will receive mentorship and guidance when needed, but also the space and trust to take initiative, explore your interests, and shape your own development.

Requirements

Proactive and self‑starting, with a strong sense of personal responsibility and a drive to make things happen.
Deep intellectual curiosity and inventiveness, with a desire to understand how things work at a fundamental level. You should be on track for a minimum 2:1 in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, with a strong academic record that reflects your capacity for rigorous, first‑principles thinking.
Fluency in at least one of Python, C, or C++, with a track record of building meaningful software. You should be able to both write high‑quality code and engage effectively with code written by others.
Collaborative and emotionally intelligent, able to build trust, energise those around you, and communicate complex technical ideas with clarity, empathy, and precision, regardless of your audience’s background.
Commercially aware and entrepreneurial, excited by the opportunity to turn breakthrough technologies into real‑world products, ventures, and impact.
Strategic and systems‑minded, able to see the bigger picture, anticipate challenges and opportunities, and navigate ambiguity while keeping priorities sharp and focused.

We're looking for those who don't just solve problems — they seek them out, thrive on them, and elevate those around them while doing so.
