Eligibility for UK security clearance is required.

Breakthrough technology is critical to protecting the UK’s Defence and Homeland Security. As an Experienced Consultant, you’ll be right at the heart of that mission—helping to defend against emerging technological and cyber threats.

This is a role where your work genuinely matters. You’ll collaborate with elite, multi-disciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, and designers to explore pioneering concepts and turn them into reality. From first principles to fully functioning prototypes, you’ll be hands-on throughout the entire product lifecycle—capturing requirements, designing architectures, developing and testing solutions, and delivering working systems.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll ideally bring 3+ years’ experience in embedded software development, a strong track record of designing and implementing robust technical solutions, and a relevant degree. You’ll be confident working in Linux, programming in C, and at least one other language such as C++, C#, or MATLAB.

Experience in any of the following would be an advantage:

Bare-metal or RTOS development on ARM targets
High-level software architecture
Embedded software debugging techniques
Electronics development and hands-on debugging
Scripting for test, automation, or signal processing (e.g. Python or MATLAB)
Engineers from any sector are encouraged to apply. Defence experience is welcomed but not essential.

This is an exciting time to join. You’ll help build on a strong track record while developing your career at the cutting edge of technology—surrounded by curious, driven people who value individuality, inclusion, and shared purpose.
