Senior Test Software Engineer

Based on site in Stevenage

Salary from £45,000 - £75,000 DOE + Bonus + 14% Pension + Paid Overtime

The software you write won’t sit behind a login screen.

It will configure, verify and validate complex defence systems. It will be used in development, production and field environments. It has to work. Every time.

You’ll join a multi-disciplined engineering team building high-reliability test solutions that sit between hardware and mission-critical systems. This isn’t feature development. It’s engineering with consequence.

You’ll be:

• Writing robust software in C/C++
• Developing high-performance test applications integrated with real hardware
• Working closely with Systems, Electronics and Test teams
• Solving problems that don’t stop neatly at the edge of “software”

If you enjoy writing clean, documented, dependable code and you like understanding how the whole system works, not just your module, you’ll fit well here.

What you'll bring:

• Strong C / C++ experience
• Previous software engineering experience in the development of test solutions
• A good understanding of automation, continuous integration and DevOps principles and practices
• Knowledge of electronics measurement and debug techniques using equipment such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers
• Analytical thinking
• Comfort working in safety or mission-critical environments
• British citizenship or Dual national with British citizenship for security clearance

This is engineering that directly supports national capability.
