Job description

Software Engineer C++ (All Experience Levels) Location: Lincoln, UK Type: Permanent, Full Time Salary: Competitive. Design and build advanced hardware and software systems that deliver real‑world insight from complex data. Our software team creates the tools and systems that bring our technology to life, and we’re looking for another engineer to join us.

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer, you will work on the development of C++ applications that integrate directly with our in-house hardware. You will be involved in everything from designing and implementing new features to testing your software on live systems.

You will collaborate with hardware and systems engineers, helping to turn ideas into working products. This is a hands‑on and varied role, ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems and wants to see their work in action.

• Interest in aerospace, sensing, or complex data systems

Company

This role is primarily on‑site at our Lincoln office. Because our software integrates closely with our own hardware, much of the development and testing happens here. While working from home is possible when needed, the core of the role is collaborative and hands‑on. You will report to the Head of Software and work alongside a small team of engineers who share responsibility for delivering robust, well‑engineered solutions that support our wider business.

We value difference and we don’t have a fixed idea when it comes to background or education. Provided you can show the required level of experience and willingness to learn, we would like to hear from you.
