Job description

Developing Python-based software for advanced manufacturing systems

Cambridge South; highly competitive + benefits

This Cambridgeshire-based company is developing automated manufacturing technology for the biotech industry. As their product matures, they are seeking an experienced Software Engineer with expertise in safety critical software development. You will be joining a bright and highly motivated team, with specialisms in areas such as electronics, mechanical engineering, or systems engineering. Your product development experience and collaboration skills will allow you to quickly come up to speed with the technology and help shape the direction of software development.

You will need:

• Excellent coding skills in Python, having previously created substantive, thoughtfully designed and implemented (e.g. PEP 8) Python programs. (Casual scripting won't suffice.)
• Experience in developing complex safety-critical systems, particularly systems for mechanical control.
• A strong academic background - degree qualified in computer science, electronic engineering, or similar.
• Right to work in the UK without restriction, time limit, or sponsorship.

Not essential, but strong C++ and/or C# programming skills, or experience with ROS1 or 2 would benefit your application.

This role is based at the company's offices just outside of Cambridge, and features a highly competitive salary and excellent benefits package. Whilst this company is early stage, they are well-backed and this is a great time to join their team.
