Burbage area

We are working with an innovative engineering organisation developing advanced Aerospace technologies. They are now looking to hire an experienced Software Engineer to support the design and delivery of mission‑critical software and firmware solutions.

This role sits within a multidisciplinary engineering team and covers the full software lifecycle – from design and development through testing, integration and deployment. You’ll also contribute to system‑level integration within complex avionics architectures.

You’ll be responsible for developing robust, high‑quality software for flight‑critical systems, while working closely with electronics, systems and product teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing, developing and maintaining embedded software and firmware
• Translating technical and system requirements into scalable, secure solutions
• Supporting integration, testing and troubleshooting of software within full system architectures
• Conducting code reviews and maintaining high engineering standards
• Producing clear technical documentation (designs, specifications, user guides)
• Investigating and resolving complex software issues
• Supporting regulatory and safety‑critical development activities (DO‑178B/C)
• Sharing knowledge, mentoring others and contributing to continuous improvement

We are looking for someone who has:

• Solid programming skills in C and Python (MATLAB beneficial)
• Experience in aerospace, defence or safety‑critical environments
• Experience working with real‑time or embedded operating systems
• Confidence working on Linux / UNIX‑based environments
• Experience debugging embedded systems (software and hardware interaction)
• Familiarity with common communication protocols (e.g. CAN, SPI, I2C, serial)
• Experience using version control tools such as Git
• A relevant engineering qualification or equivalent commercial experience

• Opportunity to work on avionics technology
• High technical autonomy and responsibility
• Collaborative, engineering‑led environment
• Competitive salary and benefits package
