→ Implementing and testing software in C++ to industry standards across Linux and Windows platforms
→ Applying acoustic signal processing expertise to real-world embedded and real-time applications
→ Using structured design tools including Enterprise Architect and UML-based design methods
→ Managing software verification and validation against contractual requirement sets
→ Presenting designs to internal teams and customers at all project stages
→ Supporting system integration, acceptance activities, and Docker-based implementations

What we're looking for — essential:

✔ Strong C++ development experience on Linux and/or Windows platforms
✔ Experience in acoustic signal processing or real-time embedded software
✔ Proven software team leadership — technical and interpersonal
✔ Comfortable with structured design tools, version control, and IDE environments
✔ Experience of software V&V against a formal requirement set
✔ Clear, precise technical communicator — confident presenting to customers and senior stakeholders
✔ BSc or above in Engineering, Maths, Science or equivalent experience
✔ SC or DV clearance held or eligible to obtain
✔ Full UK driving licence

Nice to have:

★ Defence, government, or highly regulated industry background
★ Experience with Docker containers or similar
★ Familiarity with Enterprise Architect and UML

What's in it for you:

Up to 24 additional holiday days per year via paid overtime or TOIL
Private medical care — 50+ private clinics and hospitals nationwide
Christmas closedown — most staff off 24th December to 2nd January
Competitive employer-matched pension
Company tech — laptop, mobile and home office equipment provided
