Job Description
Embedded Software QA Engineer
Location: Manchester
A leading consultancy at the forefront of engineering innovation is seeking an Embedded Software QA Engineer to support the delivery of high-integrity embedded and electrical systems within the defence sector. This is a key opportunity to contribute to mission-critical projects, ensuring that robust engineering standards and assurance frameworks are upheld throughout the software development lifecycle.
You’ll play an active role in safeguarding software reliability, safety, and compliance — helping to shape high-assurance environments where security and process maturity are paramount.
About the Role:
This is a process-led assurance role supporting engineering teams to deliver fully compliant software systems. Working as part of a wider delivery function, you’ll ensure development processes are correctly followed, documented, and improved — guiding technical teams on quality adherence, regulatory expectations, and continuous improvement.
The role combines governance, quality oversight, and technical collaboration, making it ideal for someone with a strong appreciation of the software lifecycle in embedded or high-integrity systems.
What You’ll Be Doing:
*
Ensure project plans and governance frameworks are up to date and appropriately executed
*
Support and assure software development against defined processes and industry standards
*
Produce quality and assurance documentation throughout the development lifecycle
*
Drive actions to closure and ensure audit readiness across relevant milestones
*
Support less experienced team members and help embed a culture of best practice
*
Lead by example, contributing to a high-performing and collaborative engineering culture
*
Proactively develop professional knowledge across software, systems, and compliance
What We’re Looking For:
*
Experience in software assurance, quality engineering, or process governance roles
*
Strong understanding of software development lifecycles and embedded systems
*
Familiarity with industry standards and assurance processes in regulated environments (e.g. defence, aerospace, automotive, rail)
*
Comfortable producing assurance documentation, quality reports, and audit materials
*
A proactive mindset with strong organisational and coaching abilities
*
Degree in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g. Software, Systems, Electrical, etc.)
Why Join?
*
Join a trusted consultancy delivering high-impact work in critical sectors
*
Work across meaningful defence and engineering programmes
*
Help shape and assure the next generation of embedded and electrical systems
*
Supportive and forward-looking engineering culture
*
