About the role
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our multidisciplinary R&D team developing prototype and customer‑focused software applications for advanced sensing and intelligent systems. This role focuses on R&D rapid development and demonstration, not mass‑production software.
The ideal engineer will be competent with Python, C++, application software development, PyTorch, graphical user interfaces, real‑time data processing and display, and use of the Linux operating system.
Focus is on development of software for R&D, prototype demonstration, testing and trials, and meeting specific customer requirements for a well‑defined user base.
Candidates should be willing to work on software that supports the development of technology solutions where the software requirements are based around a physical piece of deliverable equipment, not standalone software.
Any experience in digital signal processing, and/or incorporating trained machine learning models into applications would be beneficial.
Key Responsibilities
* Understand Project / Customer technical and user requirements for software development.
* Develop software applications using Python and C++ for R&D and prototype systems.
* Design and implement graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for real‑time data processing and visualisation.
* Integrate PyTorch‑based models for inference and testing.
* Develop and maintain software on Linux platforms (Ubuntu, Raspbian, Yocto).
* Collaborate with electronics and embedded teams to integrate hardware and software components into physical products.
* Contribute to customer‑focused prototypes and demonstration systems.
Required Skills & Experience
* Proficiency in Python and C++.
* Experience with PyTorch or similar machine‑learning frameworks.
* Strong understanding of real‑time data processing and multithreaded applications.
* Experience in GUI development (e.g., PyQt, Tkinter) and web UI frameworks (full stack).
* Comfortable working in both Linux and Windows environments.
* Competent with DevOps/GitHub for version control and managing feature backlogs.
* Experience with using AI tools as an aid to the code development process.
* Excellent documentation and communication skills.
* UK national, eligible for security clearance.
