C++ Software Engineer in Stevenage, Hertfordshire

C/C++ Software Engineer
Herefordshire
£65ph Inside IR35

*** Due the nature of the role & the industry you will be working in, you will be required to achieve UK SC Clearance at an enhanced level ***

We are looking for a Software engineer, specialising in either C/C++/Linux or Real Time. You will join a small, multi-skilled team, doing complex technical work and experiencing a wide variety of technologies and engineering disciplines. The team is part of a wider, integrated, international HWIL team conducting similar activities in France and Italy, where sharing of knowledge, tools and techniques is strongly promoted.

The role of the team involves designing, developing and using closed loop HWIL simulations to investigate and prove the behaviours and performance of our products over a range of different conditions to ensure high confidence in the operation of our products. HWIL testing forms a critical part of the missile design and development cycle, where testing is focussed on understanding and investigating product characteristics and behaviours, often with prototype equipment and cutting edge technologies, not simply testing on a production line.

Day to Day you will -
* Focus on design, implementation and support to software items used within the HWIL facility. These software items vary between software to control mathematical models with input/output interfaces in real time through to software for performing data analysis and visualisation.
* Work 'hands on' with sophisticated test equipment and missile hardware. Unlike many COTS real time Hardware in the Loop software products, MBDA produces its own Linux PC based toolsets as our needs go well beyond any COTS products currently available.

Key experience we are looking for -
Strong ability and experience of software development, ideally using C, C++ or similar
Experience developing within the Linux environment.
Good problem solving skills
Be pro-active and be capable of working on their own initiative with minimum supervision
Able to work with varied engineering teams
Experience of Integrating hardware and software.
Experience with multi-threaded software products.
Experience of driver level software development.
Experience using Matlab/Simulink
Understanding of real time computing systems
Understanding of mathematical modelling concepts
Ability to visualise and analyse complex systems
