Join a world-class engineering team at the heart of aviation safety. This is a great opportunity for an Embedded Software Engineer to take ownership of technically complex projects that make a real-world difference in civilian and defence air traffic systems.

As part of a 50-strong engineering function, you’ll work across the full embedded software lifecycle—designing, coding, testing and supporting high-integrity communication systems. If you want to work on cutting-edge systems, progress your career, and be part of something that truly matters, this could be for you.

You may be reading this and only have a couple of years’ experience – that’s fine, this role is not for someone that is senior and still on the upward path of learning, finding their feet and want a great place to continue their career.

You’ll be developing embedded software for advanced radio and communication systems, covering architectural and detailed design, algorithm development, coding, debugging, and unit testing. You’ll support test and acceptance activities, prepare technical documentation, and contribute to design/code reviews. On smaller projects you may also act as the technical authority, supporting the Project Engineer to coordinate activities and ensure quality delivery.

• A few years’ experience in embedded software design and implementation
• Proficiency in C and/or C++ programming, with experience of Linux environments
• Exposure to Rust or Go (beneficial)
• Knowledge of modelling tools (e.g. Mathworks, MATLAB, NumPy)
• Understanding of VoIP and network protocols

You’ll get 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, enhanced pension contributions up to 8%, private healthcare, a subsidised canteen, cycle-to-work scheme, and more. The flexitime system lets you bank an extra day off each month, and there’s a strong focus on continuous learning and development.
