Development of new applications to meet user expectations and within formal constraints.
Familiarity with the tools and approaches to embedded development.
Experience with developing Windows & Linux applications.
Experience of using Iterative development lifecycles (for example tailored Agile.)
Experience using tools associated with Iterative development lifecycles (Jira / DevOps.)
Familiarity with development to design and coding standards.
Ability to set technical direction, defining software architecture and design strategies aligned with platform and system goals.
Experience ensuring compliance standards and adherence to internal governance processes.
Strong skills in technical risk identification and mitigation across software components.
Hands-on delivery with lifecycle experience from requirements through to certification.
A background in technical leadership, including architectural design, risk mitigation, or technical governance.
Demonstrated ability to mentor and coach engineers, uplifting capability and promoting software engineering excellence.
Familiarity with legacy systems, export controls, interoperability, and long-term product evolution.
Ability to collaborate across disciplines, working closely with systems, hardware, and firmware teams to ensure coherent integration.
Commitment to championing design integrity, acting as the accountable technical lead during audits and reviews.

This is not an exhaustive list, we are keen to hear from you even if you might not have experience in all the above. The most important skill is a good attitude and willingness to learn.
