You will work on projects involving system modelling, interface design, data integration, and control software development, contributing to the safe and efficient operation of large-scale systems.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain software for system control, integration, or simulation.

Collaborate with systems, electrical, and safety engineers to align software with system requirements.

Create and update technical documentation, including design descriptions, user guides, and operational procedures.

Provide technical input into software design strategies, proposals, cost estimates, and upgrade recommendations.

Work closely with systems engineers, testers, and other stakeholders to ensure software integration aligns with broader system architecture.

Implement code to meet performance, security, and reliability standards.

Participate in system architecture design and documentation.

Support testing, verification, and validation activities.

You’ll Need

Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.

8+ years experience in software development (Python, HTML, CSS, C++, Java or similar).

Familiarity with system modelling (e.g. SysML, MATLAB/Simulink) or data exchange standards (e.g. JSON, XML, OPC UA).

Understanding of systems engineering principles (e.g. V-model, interface control).

Ability to work within multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively

Desirable

Experience with real-time or embedded systems.

Exposure to rail, defence, or industrial automation projects.

Knowledge of safety-critical software standards (e.g. EN 50128, DO-178C).
