Job Description:

Software Engineer (C++/Embedded)

Location: Cambridge | Hybrid Working (3 days in the office)

I’m working with an established technology company that designs and develops cutting-edge radar systems used across global security, surveillance, and defence sectors. With an ambitious product roadmap and an expanding portfolio, they’re investing heavily in software development to drive the next generation of their radar solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Software Engineer to join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team. You’ll be involved in designing and developing software across radar systems — from core control platforms to external system interfaces — as well as enhancing integration with third-party surveillance technologies and improving user experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop software for radar control systems and platforms.
• Develop interfaces for third-party surveillance and security systems.
• Contribute to user interface improvements and optimise the user experience.
• Play a part in enhancing software engineering techniques and practices within the team.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Embedded Linux and embedded software development experience.
• 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.
