  • Reporting on progress and providing feedback to team members and leadership
  • Supporting System Test and Integration Activities
  • Production of appropriate technical documentation
  • Diagnosing and solving identified issues

Knowledge of Agile and Scrum would be beneficial.

Your skills and qualifications as a Software Engineer:

Ideally, you have an honours degree or equivalent professional qualification in a relevant STEM subject, although relevant knowledge and experience may offset the qualification requirements. You will be required to pass full Security Clearance.

  • Software development lifecycle and processes (e.g. design, coding, unit testing) and tools (e.g. UML design tools, code IDEs)
  • Experience of software development including desktop-based applications in an appropriate language: Java
