Senior Embedded Ada Software Engineer
Based in Stevenage
Circa £65,000 + bonus + 14% pension
Real-time. Airborne. Mission-critical.
This is not app development.
This is software that talks between complex systems and platforms in flight.
You’ll join a growing Datalink function shaping the architecture, protocols and technical direction of next-generation communication systems. Proper embedded engineering. Hard real-time constraints. Lab work. Oscilloscopes on the bench.
You’ll work across:
You’ll collaborate daily with firmware, hardware and systems engineers. This is multi-disciplinary engineering done properly, not siloed ticket writing.
We’re looking for engineers who have:
-
Significant embedded software experience in Ada
-
Hard real-time development exposure
-
RTOS experience, FreeRTOS ideal
-
Confidence working in a lab environment with real hardware
If you enjoy solving system-level problems, digging into performance, and influencing technical direction rather than just coding to spec, this will suit you.
You will hold British citizenship or be a dual national with British citizenship for security clearance purposes.
If you want embedded software that actually flies, let’s talk.
