Lead Embedded Software Engineer, C++ Based in Bristol Salary from 62,000 to 72,500, dependent on experience If you've spent years writing embedded C and C++ for systems where the software actually has to work, not just pass a demo, this is worth five minutes of your time. You'll be developing safety-critical embedded software for aerospace and defence applications, working across GUI and embedded software packages, and you'll have genuine influence over architecture and design decisions rather than just implementing someone else's. This is a small, highly capable engineering team, so your input carries weight from day one. The role splits between hands-on delivery and technical leadership. You'll mentor less experienced engineers, lead the technical delivery of work packages, and represent the software discipline directly with customers. You'll also stay close to the code, working on embedded and GUI software in C and C++, RTOS environments, and supporting certification activity against DO-178C and similar standards. This isn't a role where you'll be stuck maintaining one system for the next five years. You'll work across customer projects and internal product development, and you'll be comfortable moving between consultancy and product environments. What you'll need: - Strong experience in C and C++ for embedded software systems - Proven track record developing software to interface with and control hardware - Comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements through to verification and validation - Experience with requirements management tools such as DOORS, Jama or Polarion - Confident working across multiple projects at once, and able to pick up and improve legacy code - Due to the nature of the projects involved, you'll need to be a UK national for security clearance purposes Nice to have, not essential: - C# .NET and PC GUI development in Visual Studio - Static code analysis (MISRA C/C++) and unit testing tools such as LDRA - MATLAB/Simulink experience - Familiarity with Azure DevOps, Git or Bitbucket - RTOS experience with QNX - Socket programming or UDP comms - Previous experience leading a small software team If this sounds like the kind of work you'd rather be doing than what's currently on your desk, get in touch for a confidential conversation, no pressure, no obligation, just a chance to see whether it's worth exploring further.

Principal Test Engineer Based in Stevenage Circa 64,000 Hybrid, 2 to 3 days on site You've spent years making sure things actually work before they're trusted with something that matters. Now you want to lead that thinking, not just execute someone else's test plan. This is a senior test engineering role inside a design team. You won't be testing what someone else designed after the fact, you'll be shaping testability into the design from the start, then owning the equipment, the coverage, and the trade-offs that follow. What you'll actually be doing You'll specify pass-out tests, in-service checks and BIT routines, and you'll make sure they're built into the product from the design stage rather than bolted on afterwards. You'll lead a small team of test architects, act as a senior voice within the test department, and work directly with the Chief Design Engineer on the cost versus coverage decisions that shape the whole programme. Day to day, that means: - Owning complex test equipment specification and delivery, end-to-end - Generating and managing lower-level test requirements for design teams, including test access, BIT coverage and timing, and factory test functionality - Analysing and modelling systems to determine test coverage and generate diagnostic instructions - Leading a team of test architects and providing functional leadership within the wider department - Working closely with design and manufacturing teams to close testability gaps before they become problems What you'll need to bring - Substantial experience in test equipment design, product testability, or electrical/electronic engineering - Solid grounding in at least one of digital electronics and microprocessor systems, analogue electronics, electronics testing, or ATE/test equipment design - Proven experience leading and influencing people, not just managing a task list - Comfort gathering requirements, running projects, and managing relationships with senior stakeholders If you read that list and thought "yes, that's me", you're exactly who this is for. If you're still building toward it, this probably isn't the right fit yet, and that's fine. Worth knowing - Circa 64,000 depending on experience - Bonus up to 21% - Pension up to 14% combined contribution - Due to the nature of the work, this role requires British citizenship or dual UK nationality Not actively looking? No problem. If this sounds like a better version of what you're already doing, it's worth a quiet conversation, nothing more.
