4. Technical data analysis, technical report writing, proposal/bid, and business case development.
5. A level of Line Management responsibility including objective setting and performance management.
Desirable Qualifications:
1. The Pyramid Reference Architecture (PRA) and other Open Systems architectures such as FACE, ECOA, IMS, DDS.
2. Fundamental Software Engineering practices e.g., the use of SOLID principles and software development using one or more high-level programming languages (e.g., C, C++, Java).
3. Use of Model Based Engineering, Model Based Systems Engineering approaches, and the use of modelling languages such as SysML/UML.
4. Practical knowledge of software-driven architecture approaches such as containerisation, microservices, and virtual machines.
5. Application of experimental approaches to evaluating research hypotheses in a logical and methodical manner.
The successful candidate will be a self-starter, adaptable, creative, and comfortable working in an agile and flexible environment where collaboration is essential to engaging with other stakeholders and building successful networks of contacts.
