What we can offer:
  • Bonus of up to circa £2,000
  • Pension contribution of up to 14%
  • Annual salary review
  • Paid overtime
  • Up to 15 days flexi leave
  • 25 days annual leave (plus holiday purchase)
  • Fantastic site facilities, including subsidised meals, free car parking

Hybrid working pattern: Where possible, we will seek to accommodate a blended approach to on-site and remote working, but please note that this role is currently site based

The opportunity:

We are seeking a Software Engineer to develop C2 Software for the current and next generation of Maritime Defence Systems. MBDA produce some of the most advanced missile defence systems in the world and we have to be at the forefront of innovative technologies, working practices, theory and delivery processes.

This role involves activities across the software engineering lifecycle, from discussing requirement change with the Systems team, all the way to being involved with qualification and software releases. The software development will be in Ada and MASCOT primarily, across Linux and Windows environments. Exposure to system testing (on virtualised and real hardware) and host based testing will also form part of the role.

We welcome applications from those with experience in other software languages, as we have found that these tools are easily mastered by capable software engineers with effective training; help and support will be provided if needed.

What we're looking for from you:
  • Do you have a passion for software and its successful deployment in modern systems? This is a very hands-on role and requires the continued design and development of the Maritime C2 Software Product Line architecture, supporting the development of safe, secure and reliable products that our customers can rely on.
  • The role requires a strong background or keen curiosity about application level software, its realisation and system wide impact.
  • An ability to work across the entire software development process from engaging with requirement authorities to automated target integration and proving, supported with effective documentation.
  • Software engineers that can bring experience of new tools, techniques and approaches that might enable us to evolve our processes to improve our efficiency and sustainability.

Our Business:

We respect new perspectives and experiences, and we value our collaborative ways of working. We are committed to growing and supporting diversity in our workforce and ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their potential.

We recognise that everyone is unique, and we encourage you to speak to us should you require any advice, support or adjustments throughout our recruitment process. We also welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements.
