Software Engineer

Most software engineers spend their careers building features.

This role is for someone who'd rather build confidence.

A specialist engineering organisation developing safety-critical systems is looking for a Software Engineer with commercial Rust experience to join a team working on complex, high-integrity software.

The environment is structured, technical and engineering-led. The software is expected to work first time, every time. That means rigorous development processes, clear requirements, thorough testing and an appreciation for why quality matters.

You'll be involved throughout the software lifecycle, contributing to requirements, development, integration and verification activities alongside other software, systems and test engineers.

The role would suit someone who has experience working within defence, aerospace, transport, rail or automotive environments, where software is developed against recognised safety and engineering standards.

What they're looking for

• Around 5 years' software engineering experience.
• Experience across requirements, development and/or test.
• Exposure to safety-critical or highly regulated environments.
• Knowledge of standards such as IEC 61508, EN 50128, ISO 26262, DEF STAN 00-55 or DO-178.
• A methodical approach to problem-solving and software quality.
• UK working rights, and the ability to gain BPSS security clearance

Why apply?

For the right engineer, this is an opportunity to work on software where performance, reliability and robustness genuinely matter. You'll be surrounded by experienced engineers, solving technically challenging problems in an environment that values engineering rigour over rushing code into production.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
