Principal Software Engineer

Overview

Are you looking for a fantastic Principal Software Engineer opportunity in High Wycombe?

If so, my client is currently recruiting for a Principal Software Engineer to join their R&D site in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

My client designs and manufactures a range of products and systems focusing on Instrumentation, but you do need a strong background in embedded software and architecture.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a world leader in their industry offering excellent career prospects and a great working environment.

• You will be responsible for the software architecture for their products/systems.
• You will have a strong Agile/Scrum background.
• Must have excellent C/C++ and C# programming skills.
• Physics orientated background.

• The role will be responsible for design and architecture of software for new and existing products.
• This is a senior role requiring a design-to-launch product ownership and a system-wide perspective.
• You will have software development skills sufficient to help drive the technology roadmap, author high level specifications and contribute to software delivery.
• You will take on some hands‑on software design work. But your broad role will be to own the architecture/vision for the product/system and ensure that what is designed fits the initial brief. So, you will provide technical leadership to the software team/group. But won't have any line management responsibility.
