For this particular role you will:

Be involved in the development of the full Software Lifecycle.
Program using the extremely powerful language Ada which is widely used in the Defence and Aerospace industry.
Be working onsite in the well-established software community in our Edinburgh or Newcastle based offices.
Be responsible for creating high quality and robust code, for fully documenting and recording your work products, keeping them under configuration management and providing plans and reports on progress to your supervisor
Deliver technical reports and documents, as well as generate and present technical presentations to project stakeholders.
Be able to follow a project plan and identify key elements within the project plan.
Report clear and concise progress to the software team lead and Project and Engineering management.
Work alongside and closely with the Software & Systems team, as well as the rooflab integration team. You will investigate and resolve real integration problems on a complex system.

What we need from you:

Experience with Java will be very useful for getting to grips with Ada quicker.
Experience with developing software for embedded systems.
Past or current experience in heavily regulated industries such as Defence, Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Oil and Gas or Financial.

This is not an exhaustive list, and 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.
