Graduate Software Engineer (27556)

Cambridge
to £45,000 DoE

Innovative defence company seeking adaptable junior engineers

This defence company uses cutting edge technologies from electronics and computer science to design systems for detecting and deterring UAVs (drones). Their systems are modular, versatile and use advances in AI to learn and adapt. They have worked in a variety of other areas including cyberwarfare and active camouflage.

They are seeking graduate or junior software engineers to work across their product portfolio. There’s no specific set of skills, technologies or languages they require, instead they seek versatile candidates with strong knowledge of at least one programming language. Areas you could be involved with include ML systems, signal processing and software defined radios. And the platforms you work on can vary from the cloud down to small low-power electronics and anything in between.

For security reasons we can only consider candidates who are British nationals.

Requirements:

  • 1st or 2:1 in a STEM subject from a top university with strong knowledge of software development evidenced through project work (personal or academic), or commercial placements
  • Eager to learn new technologies or languages as well as adjacent engineering ideas from electronics and physics
  • A problem-solving mentality, able to understand issues even outside of programming and provide analysis and potential solutions

This company is looking for candidates to start soon, so you will need to have already completed your degree and be available at relatively short notice.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on projects that will have a real impact. You will be working alongside passionate engineers from a variety of fields providing an excellent opportunity for you to develop both personally and professionally. Offices are located a few miles south of Cambridge in the market town of Saffron Walden.

Please note: even if you don't have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest - we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
