I’m working with a small, well-backed team building safety and assurance software for AI-driven systems. Think robotics, autonomy, and environments where things can’t just “mostly work”. They’re looking for someone who enjoys getting close to the system. Not just writing tests, but understanding how things behave end-to-end. You’d be working across: • Embedded software and real-time systems, • Automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, • Simulation environments (SIL / HIL), • Robotics tooling (ROS, Gazebo etc.), • Safety-critical standards (DO-178C, ISO 26262) It’s a hands-on role in a team where QA isn’t siloed. You’ll be working closely with software, systems, and AI engineers, helping shape how testing and validation is done as the product evolves. The environment is early-stage but already delivering real-world capability. That means: • You’ll have real ownership, • You can influence how things are built, • You’re not inheriting years of legacy process This would suit someone who: • Comes from embedded, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or defence, • Enjoys automation and building test infrastructure, • Thinks in terms of systems, not just test cases, • Has worked in or is interested in safety-critical environments You don’t need to tick every box. If you’ve got strong fundamentals and are curious about autonomy and safety, it’s worth a conversation. If it sounds interesting, drop me a message or apply and I’ll give you a bit more context.

The Sizewell C team is one of the most exciting and largest new megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. We have begun constructing a 3.2-gigawatt nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast in the East of England replicating, wherever possible, the design used for Hinkley Point C, another nuclear power station being built in Somerset. When built, Sizewell C will be one of the largest power stations to operate in the UK. The power station will generate low carbon electricity for at least 60 years, supplying over 6 million homes and supporting around 7% of the UK’s current electricity needs. Our vision is to Lead The Way On Nuclear . We want Sizewell C to define what good leadership for the nuclear industry and British infrastructure looks like and deliver on it. We understand the feats of organisation, logistics, collaboration and imagination that building nuclear requires. We are building for the next generation for their home-grown energy, energy price stability and ultra-low carbon power in abundance. We also want to set the benchmark for maximising long-lasting social value as we build and demonstrate how smart collaboration can work for the benefit of communities – locally, regionally and nationally. We are the first nuclear power station in the UK to be funded under the Regulated Asset Base funding model (RAB). Our largest shareholder is the UK Government, alongside equity partners La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure. Sizewell C operates within a complex and fast-moving stakeholder environment, engaging with a wide range of partners including government bodies, regulators, local communities, supply chain partners, and international collaborators.
