  • Managing technical tasks/projects and people
  • Be involved in product delivery, sometimes to challenging deadlines.
  • Customer-facing technical consultancy
  • Have a strong interest in expanding technical knowledge both in areas of core expertise and more generally.

  • Ability to produce high-quality software

  • C++ experience (or similar)
  • Proven problem-solving / fault-finding skills
  • Ability to multi-task and stay organised in a dynamic work environment
  • Excellent team working abilities
  • Ability to learn quickly


Desirable:
  • A keen interest in the space sector and awareness of latest industry developments.
  • Broad interest in wireless technology, embedded systems and awareness of latest industry developments.
  • Development on and for Linux based embedded systems
  • Experience of developing for Space applications
  • Range of other development skills such as C (for embedded systems), Java, HTML5, React/Redux, Python, GDB.
  • Modern software development methodologies such as Agile and Test Driven Development
  • Proven track record of successfully delivering high quality software solutions
  • Understanding of radio communication systems and concepts
