Job description

Software Engineer

Do you want to write software for the UK's latest frontline fighter, augmented/virtual reality trainers for nuclear submarines or even 3D mission planning systems for Typhoon and Hawk jets? Interested in using machine learning on big data to maximise availability for aircraft, ships and land vehicles or developing web based solutions to keep airspace safe? Or even producing software to optimise the timetables on the London Underground?

If any of those grab your attention, how would you like to work for a business that is committed to making the workplace agile and flexible to meet the diverse needs of our customers? Where high standards of work are expected and encouraged? Where people are understood and valued? Where you can develop and enhance your skills and knowledge, with potential to become a leader in a global business?

Your main responsibilities as a Software Engineer will involve:

· Ownership of requirements, design and implementation, and test to a high standard, within schedule and estimates

· Software development of solutions

· Testing of completed functionality

· Adherence to project processes and software development practices

· Reporting on progress and providing feedback to team members and leadership

· Supporting System Test and Integration Activities

· Production of appropriate technical documentation

· Design of technical solutions

As part of the software team you will be expected to work closely with team members, and support the team and/or project leadership in daily activities.

Your skills and qualifications as a Software Engineer:

Competence in:

· Software development lifecycle and processes (e.g. design, coding, unit testing), and tools (e.g. UML design tools, code IDEs)

· Desktop-based applications (Java and Eclipse RCP or C#/C++)

· Web-oriented applications and services (Java/C#, JSP, HTML, CSS, Apache middleware)

· Business intelligence/analytics tools and techniques (ETL, SQL, Python)

· Windows or Linux target environments

· Object-oriented design/development including UML

What we're looking for in you:

You should be able to demonstrate:

· A 'can do' attitude; deliver within agreed budgets and timescales

· Self-organisation and good time management

· You are innovative and able to drive improvement

· You take responsibility for your own work packages and for delivery

· Occasional travel may be required

Ideally you have an honours degree or equivalent professional qualification in a relevant STEM subject, although relevant knowledge and experience may offset the qualification requirements. You will be required to obtain full Security Clearance.
