The Opportunity:
Europe’s leading integrated Defense Company is on the lookout for a talented Real-Time Embedded Software Engineer - someone who isn’t afraid to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible.
Here, you won’t just be another cog in a delivery machine; you’ll be instrumental in designing, building, testing, and implementing seeker software for next-generation missile systems.

* Together, you’ll drive the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) of complex, real-time software embedded within missile sub-components.
* Your insights will shape the architecture, influence design, and ensure every aspect undergoes rigorous testing and verification.
* But here’s the exciting part: it’s not all just theoretical. You’ll dive into the hands-on world of missile components and testing equipment, witnessing your work come to life in a state-of-the-art lab environment.
Essential Requirements:
* Security Clearance: Must be a British citizen or dual UK national, eligible or already holding SC Clearance.
* Real-Time Embedded: Demonstrated experience in developing hard real-time embedded software.
* C Programming: Strong proficiency in ‘C’ with a deep understanding of its application in real-time systems.
* Communication Protocols: Solid knowledge of protocols like SPI, UART, Ethernet, and PCI-Express.
* Design Methodologies: Familiarity with software design practices such as UML.
* Analytical Mindset: Ability to assess system performance and ensure seamless integration.
* Full SDLC: Hands-on experience across the full software development life cycle.
Benefits Package:
* Base salary: Up to £65,000 (DoE)
* Annual Bonus: Circa £2,500
* Overtime: Optional paid overtime - flat rate (1.25)
* Flexi Leave: Up to 15 additional days
* Holidays: 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
* Pension: Pension 14% (6% Employee and 8% Employer)
* Share Incentive Plan: Opportunity to purchase shares via payroll before tax and NI.
* Parental Benefits: Up to 26 weeks of full pay for maternity, paternity, adoption, neonatal and shared parental leave
* Sick Pay: Ranges from 6 weeks for your first six months of service and scales up to 48 weeks after five years of service.
* L&D: As a Times UK Top 25 Employers, the company holds Three Investors in People Gold Awards and offers employees work-class training and development/career tools.
