C / C++ Software Engineer

Location: Southampton, UK (Hybrid 3 days per week on-site)

There are easier ways to make a living.

But if you're the sort of software engineer who'd rather work on hard problems than spend your days tweaking yet another app interface, this might be worth a read.

You'll be joining a small, sharp team developing software that underpins next-generation satellite and space communications systems. It's complex, real-time, performance-critical work - the kind where a fraction of a millisecond matters, and where your code has a direct impact on what eventually flies into orbit.

You'll need solid experience with C/C++ on Linux, a grasp of how real-time systems behave on either ARM and/or Intel x86 platforms, and the mindset to figure things out when there isn't a Stack Overflow answer waiting for you. If you can script in Python and have some exposure to wireless comms or signal processing, all the better.

The people here are serious about engineering. No cutting corners, no 'that'll do'. You'll be pushed, but you'll also develop faster than you thought possible because when the bar is this high, you either level up or get left behind.

The work is challenging. The standards are uncompromising. And the pay-off is getting to shape technology that ends up in space.

If that sounds like the kind of growth you're after, let's talk.
