Pure Resourcing Solutions Limited; Broadland; In loco; GBP 65.000 - 85.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Pure Resourcing Solutions Limited is seeking a Lead Software & Systems Engineer to lead the R&D software and systems within a growing team in Norfolk. The role combines hands-on coding with setting direction, defining how code is written, reviewed, merged, tested and released.

You’ll drive modular architecture, introduce proper verification/validation, and mentor a small team of engineers across physics, controls, and electronics. Occasional UK travel may be required.

Competenze

• Strong software engineering background in C++ on Linux.
• Setting up and improving software processes: Git workflows, code review, testing, release management.
• Architecture-first, modular mindset with focus on reusable interfaces.
• Containerisation, Docker on Linux.
• Verification and validation experience, ideally on real-time or mission-critical software.
• Background in complex products, preferably in regulated domains such as defence, aerospace, medical, automotive.
• Some people leadership (formal or not) as well as technical leadership.
• Willingness for occasional UK and international travel.
• Eligibility for SC clearance (don’t need to hold it already).

Mansioni

• Own Git and repository governance across the department: branching, review, merging, releases
• Drive a more modular architecture with clearly defined interfaces, so code can be reused across a product range
• Bring in proper verification and validation at module level, not just at system level
• Review others’ code, with authority and diplomacy
• Lead and mentor the software and systems team
• Working closely with physicists, controls engineers and electronics engineers
• Shape the technical roadmap: GUI stack, containerisation and, longer term, more connected, secure and updatable systems
• Hand clean, validated, traceable work over to engineering for production
• Hands-on coding: writing and shipping code yourself, though expect this to decrease in volume as the team grows
