This role focuses on developing robust, maintainable software solutions across the full product lifecycle, from early concept and prototyping through to production and in-service support. You will work in a software engineering lab environment closely integrated with electronics, instrumentation and hardware teams, collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines to deliver high-quality, reliable test capability to meet programme delivery schedules.
