Software Engineer
Software Engineer (C++ Contractor)
Role Overview
We are an engineering-led organisation designing and building advanced hardware and software systems that extract real-world insight from complex data. Our software team develops the tools that bring these systems to life, and we are seeking an experienced C++ Software Engineer to support ongoing development on a contract basis.
Key Responsibilities
As a Software Engineer, you will contribute to the development and enhancement of C++ applications that integrate directly with proprietary hardware systems. The role spans the full development lifecycle, including:
- Designing and implementing new features
- Debugging and improving existing functionality
- Testing software on live, integrated systems
You will work closely with hardware and systems engineers to turn technical concepts into robust, working solutions. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys practical problem-solving and seeing their work deployed in real-world environments.
Essential Experience & Skills
We are open to contractors with varying levels of experience. More important than years served is a pragmatic mindset, strong technical fundamentals, and the ability to work effectively in a small team.
Essential:
- Strong C++ skills and solid understanding of object-oriented programming
- Practical, delivery-focused approach to engineering problems
- Comfortable collaborating within a small, multi-disciplinary engineering team
Desirable Experience & Skills
- Experience using Qt for UI development
- Understanding of software–hardware integration, including FPGA-based or embedded systems
- Exposure to RF systems or related technical domains
- Experience building, operating, or integrating drones or similar platforms
- Interest in aerospace, sensing technologies, or complex data systems
You will work closely with the software lead and a small team of engineers responsible for delivering well-engineered, production-ready solutions.
