Full job description

Job Description:

Salary Range:

Engineer £38000 - £50000

Senior Engineer £45000 - £60000

Principal Engineer £54000 - £70000

Where this vacancy is being recruited across more than one grade, the successful candidate will be appointed to a specific assessed grade, and the applicable salary range will be that associated with the grade of appointment.

Leonardo UK operates a grade-based salary framework with broad bands. The salary range shown reflects the approved grade band for this role, or a narrower hiring range published within that band, and is benchmarked against the external market. Exceptions above the standard range are managed through governance controls to protect internal equity.

Your impact

Are you interested in working on one of the most cutting-edge defence and aerospace projects in the UK? We are enhancing the capability of fast jets such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, Saab Gripen and the emerging 6th generation fighter jet platform, Tempest. We are looking for top engineers to join our team and help us with our industry leading contributions to these projects.

As a Software Engineer at Leonardo, you will work in an agile team with 7-10 other engineers. Together with almost 100 other engineers you’ll be challenged to ensure the software development continues to form the backbone of the nation’s air defence capability for decades to come.

You will collaborate with your colleagues to architect, design, implement and test new product functionality and contribute to planning the work and taking ownership for delivering it.

What you’ll bring

To be successful in this role, we really need you to have the following experience:

Experience working within an agile team and familiarity with agile software development lifecycle
Strong C++ programming skills, ideally in a highly regulated environment.
The ability to collaborate and work with others
Git (or equivalent) source control expertise
The ability to develop suitable software solution from solution requirements
The ability to trace, diagnose and resolve potential software issues. Familiarity with a debugger.

If you have the above skills, the following will really help you stand out:

Familiarity with Signal Processing
Experience working on complex products and codebases
Familiarisation with component-based development
Experience with working in embedded environments
Experience using static analysis and code coverage tooling
Knowledge of best practises for incremental development
Familiarity with the Atlassian toolset
Familiarity with Cmake.

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.

Security Clearance

This role is subject to pre-employment screening in line with the UK Government’s Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS). An additional range of Personnel Security Controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV) may apply, this could include meeting the eligibility requirements for The Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV).
