Company Description

TTP is an employee-owned technology and product development consultancy, with a 40-year track record of helping ambitious clients solve complex technical 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 biology, physical science and engineering.

Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and technical collaboration, while providing you with the freedom to do your best work.

Job Description

As a Software Engineer at TTP, you will work in-person at our Cambridgeshire campus to work on software development – from concept generation and algorithm design to implementation in embedded and cloud-based resources. The work will vary depending on the project, but could include developing neural networks for human-multi-robot collaborative teams or creating an app that helps people with specific health problems like borderline personality disorder.

You will have the opportunity to work on multiple such projects at any one time, so over a year at TTP your experiences and applications will be vast, and you can expect to develop and expand your understanding of entirely new fields of science and technology rapidly.

You will be sat within a team of experienced Software engineers to whom you can turn to in times of doubt or curiosity. But we believe in empowering you to grow in your own way, offering mentorship and guidance when you need it, whilst giving you the freedom to develop your skills and career path on your terms. You will be given the autonomy to choose what to spend your time on, find solutions and balance your own responsibilities.

Tasks you could expect to undertake as part of this role include designing software architecture, implementing new features based on product requirements, fixing bugs and refactoring code, writing unit or integration tests and task estimation effort. You would be expected to keep up to date with modern tools, languages and frameworks, and to seek guidance from more experienced people to output high quality code (PR reviews).

The Requirements

• A 2:1 degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (degree apprenticeships also accepted).
• Around 2 years in software engineering, or similar practical experience through projects, open-source contributions, or other relevant work.
• Experience coding in at least one of Python, C, or C++. You should have experience of writing substantial pieces of software, be proficient in git version control and be able to read and understand code written by others.
• Communication Skills. You should be able to communicate your understanding and explain your ideas in a way that those unfamiliar with the topic can understand.
• Motivated by technology and wanting to make a difference though its advancement.
  
  

Closing date for this application is the 7th of July 2025.
