So, what will you be doing as a Software Product Support Engineer?

We're a driven team with a passion for software and its successful deployment in battlespace Command and Control (C2) weapon systems. We work on technology that is at the forefront of European missile system design, delivering safe, secure, and reliable products to our customers. We are looking for a capable software engineer who can support our in-service missile-system middleware solutions and work as part of a small team to investigate and fix issues as they arise.

Our products require Linux Operating System (OS) configuration, support, and security solution maintenance, so experience of Linux is necessary for this position. Working across multiple applications on both land and maritime projects in the systems software department, this role allows for involvement in many of the most advanced missile systems in the world, across multiple warfare domains.
