Please note you must already hold SC (Security Clearance) to apply for this role.
Your new company
This leading Defence Contractor business are looking to bolster their Software team with an experienced Senior C++ Developer. This role is based out of Chertsey and will require the candidate to attend the office 4-5 days per week working in our Maritime domain. C++ experience is essential. Ideally, knowledge of defence or MOD system gateways is preferred. What is important is that candidates have had recent, hands-on experience and should have SC clearance already.
Your new role
Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will be a key contributor to a Maritime project in a team of 5. You will be responsible for:
1. Requirements analysis
2. Software design and development
3. System/software engineering
4. Acceptance
5. Technical governance liaising with the design team
The work is predominantly related to the in-board aspects of Sonar processing and display software but also includes sensor data acquisition sub-systems and wider aspects of submarine combat systems development. Currently, the work covers Maritime systems but has the potential to evolve into other associated domains in the future. You and your team will be involved from the initial concept right through to customer acceptance of highly complex systems, ensuring that all design requirements are met.
What you'll need to succeed
You should have previous experience as a Senior Software Engineer with strong C++ skills, around 5 years. You may also have worked with C or Java. You will have experience with both embedded and desktop operating systems such as Linux and Windows. The secure nature of the project work will require you to already hold SC Clearance to be successful in this process. You will ideally have knowledge of defence or MOD system gateways.
What you'll get in return
The benefits here are great. You’ll work a 37.5 hour week but can condense your hours into a 4-day week if you choose. There is flexi-time and you can earn up to 24 additional paid days off per year (or conversely can work overtime). You will receive 32 days holiday plus a Christmas close down for a week. There is private medical cover too.
