Developing clever embedded C and C++ software to support national security applications. Based in Tewksbury, this established consultancy provides broad technical expertise in disciplines such as algorithm development, signal processing, RF systems design, FPGA development, and software development for data capture and hardware control. Their clients are typically the UK Government or small companies needing specialist knowledge to complete their own projects. The work is varied and cross-disciplinary in nature. Software is typically developed in C or C++ under Linux, with HTML and TypeScript/JavaScript being used for user interfaces.
As a senior consultant, you will be involved throughout the project lifecycle with a high degree of client contact and autonomy over your work. This role would likely suit an experienced C++ developer from the defence sector seeking interesting work without a big-company corporate culture or drawn out project time frames. This role is a great opportunity to build experience and learn new skills while working as part of a supportive and collaborative team.
You will need:
- A 1st or 2.1 in a numerate STEM discipline and strong pre-university grades (A* or A at A-levels, or equivalent). A relevant Master’s or PhD would be advantageous.
- Excellent communication skills: being confident discussing complex technical concepts with clients and colleagues and proficiency in authoring technical documentation.
