Software Engineer
Based in Stevenage
Up to £65,000 + bonus + strong benefits
You know the difference between code that works… and code that has to work.
This role sits right in that space.
You’ll be building real-time, embedded software that captures and processes critical system data, the kind that tells engineers whether a complex defence system performs as expected, or doesn’t. No grey areas.
It’s hands‑on. Proper engineering.
C, C++, multi‑threading, hardware integration, performance tuning.
You’ll be:
* Designing and developing real-time embedded software.
* Building scalable, robust architectures for high‑performance systems.
* Working closely with hardware and systems teams, not in isolation.
* Debugging, optimising, and getting systems ready for real‑world use.
* Contributing to integration, verification, and test at system level.
This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s build, solve, iterate, deliver.
You’ll need:
* Strong C/C++ experience in embedded or real‑time environments.
* Experience with multi‑threaded systems and performance optimisation.
* API design and development (preferably Rest).
* A practical, delivery‑focused mindset.
* Exposure to CI/CD, Git, and modern development practices.
If you’ve worked on data capture, video, or tools like Wireshark or LabVIEW, even better, but not essential.
You’ll be joining a small, capable team working on some of the most advanced systems in the UK, where what you build genuinely matters.
If you want to work on complex problems, in a team that values proper engineering, this is worth a conversation.
