Job Description
Senior Embedded Software Engineer - C++
This is a really interesting new opportunity with a long-time client of ours in the Space sector. The role sits in our client's R&D team, which focuses on designing and developing solutions to program SoC, primarily for communications applications, especially Satellite Communications. Our client has a fantastic track record of innovation in this sector and you'll be working on a range of projects: anything from prototypes in Free Space Optical comms to Software Defined Radio solutions deployed in small satellites.
Most of the development work is done in C++, with various other languages further up & down the stack. The team actively follows and adopts new technologies and approaches. Creativity is highly valued, as is an organised approach to technical work across a wide variety of project topics, and an ability to take a "systems view" of the broader context of the solution.
