Embedded Software Engineer - Security Clearance - Cambridge A growing spinout security technology company, based in Cambridge, is currently seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to assist with the development, modification, and enhancement of various security technologies. Your focus will span across radio, satellite, communications, radar, sensors, and other complex technologies used in the defence, aerospace, telecommunications, and other cutting-edge sectors, where you will contribute to the development of new technologies. You will collaborate with a team of experts, including electronics design engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, physicists, and other specialists. You won't necessarily need prior experience in the specific sector, as this is trainable, but you should have substantial experience in developing embedded systems using C/C++ programming languages. This company provides bespoke products and services for clients, ensuring that your projects will always be unique, presenting their own set of problems and challenges to keep you engaged. In addition to client projects, you will be involved in developing new versions of existing technology and improving current versions, offering a diverse and engaging role that will keep you interested for the long term.

This role has arisen due to the company's growth. They take pride in investing in their staff by providing continuous training to support your career development.
