ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Software Engineer, you will be reporting to the Software Engineering Manager. This exciting role will place the right candidate at the forefront of unmanned air systems development in the UK.
We seek a highly motivated engineer to drive development and verification of UAS software. As a Software Engineer, you will deliver critical engineering outputs, working in software requirements, design, implementation, and testing. You will apply your expertise in software engineering and aviation systems to deliver the development of high-integrity aircraft control solutions, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. Additionally, you will mentor and support junior team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.

WHAT YOU’LL BEING DOING:

· Software Development: Deliver the design, architecture, implementation, and verification of Malloy’s software, ensuring high safety and reliability standards.
· Project Coordination: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and work to software requirements across a diverse software stack – with opportunity to develop your skills from bare-metal C++ to front end GUI.
· Ensuring Compliance & Quality: Work with adherence to industry standards, safety regulations, and rigorous testing methodologies.
· Continuous Improvement: Optimize development processes, tools, and workflows to enhance efficiency and software performance.
· Delivering Engineering Products: You’ll have the opportunity to see your contributions to UAS design through all stages of the lifecycle and have opportunity to get hands-on with testing of your systems - including in flight.
