KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Develop, maintain, and enhance software solutions written primarily in ADA.
Support and modify legacy environmental simulator applications.
Analyse software defects, perform root cause investigations, and implement corrective actions.
Participate in software design, integration, verification, and testing activities.
Produce and maintain technical documentation throughout the software lifecycle.
Collaborate with systems, software, and integration teams to deliver project objectives.
Support software modernisation and migration activities where required.
Contribute to code reviews and ensure compliance with relevant engineering standards and processes.
Assist with maintaining software quality, reliability, and performance.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:

Significant experience developing software using ADA.
Experience working on legacy software systems and supporting long-term product lifecycles.
Understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
Experience with software integration, testing, and debugging.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Experience producing technical documentation and following structured development processes.

DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE:

Experience with C++ development.
Knowledge of environmental simulator software or simulation systems.
Experience within the aerospace, defence, or safety-critical industries.
Familiarity with configuration management and version control tools.
Understanding of model-based or systems engineering approaches.
Experience supporting software modernisation or migration programmes.
