C++/Linux Software Product Support Engineer Job Description:

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.
Debugging and engineering investigation is a big part of the job, as the software is complex and we require someone with an inquisitive nature to be able to investigate issues and discuss solutions with our customers.
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.

Skillset/experience required:

- Experience with C or C++ (At least one of these is essential), Ada, and/or JavaScript, Shell Scripting languages with a solid background in software engineering.
- Experience configuring and maintaining Linux OSs (Redhat and/or Ubuntu) including Kernel configuration and Kernel test.
- A passion for software engineering, with the ability to innovate and think critically to understand and solve complex software problems.
- This is a technical support role, so clear communication of technical matters to non-technical stakeholders is an essential skill.
- Comfortable working with a team in a collaborative environment, communicating and contributing to resolve emerging issues.
