Position overview
Our Client has an immediate requirement for an Embedded Software Engineer for their next generation European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk 2 Programme. The ECRS Mk 2 Radar will transform the Typhoon’s control of the air and provide additional electronic warfare capabilities.
As an Embedded Software Engineer you will develop embedded software for a state-of-the-art radar platform. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team, working closely with Electronic and VHDL/FPGA engineers to ensure the successful testing and commissioning of a complex multi-unit system. The work is innovative and challenging on cutting-edge Arm and Intel SoC platforms.
Within the software engineering community, the mission is simple: Deliver new features and enhancements quickly and continuously to keep our operators safe. That means needing to develop features, gather data, diagnose problems and deploy updates as quickly as possible. As a Software Engineer, you’ll understand the value you deliver to our customers and how important that is to mission success.
Due to the nature of the work, remote working and working from home is limited. Depending on your level of expertise, you’ll mentor, coach and teach other software engineers, and actively contribute to sharing knowledge.
