Candidates will apply modern software engineering practices and UML modelling techniques in an office-based environment. This role is ideal for detail-driven engineers with strong C++ and UML skills seeking long-term impact in the sector.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain embedded software using C++ within a UML-based modelling environment (e.g. IBM Rhapsody)
- Support full software development lifecycle activities — from design and implementation to integration and verification
- Collaborate with systems and hardware engineers to deploy software to multi-core or distributed embedded platforms
- Adhere to relevant standards such as RTCA DO-178C and MISRA C/C++ for airborne software development
- Deliver software using Agile methodologies, contributing to regular sprints and reviews
Skills Required:
- Proven experience in real-time C++ software development
- Strong understanding of Object-Oriented Design (OOD) principles and UML modelling
- Hands-on experience with modelling tools such as IBM Rhapsody
- Familiarity with software safety and compliance standards (e.g. DO-178C, MISRA)
- Experience with Agile delivery frameworks (Scrum) and tools such as Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket or GitLab
- Comfortable working in an office-based environment alongside engineers from multiple disciplines
