Job Description

Software Development Project Leader – Embedded Systems. I’m working with a leading defence technology organisation looking for a Software Development Team Leader to support the delivery of on-board embedded software for next-generation missile systems. This is a hybrid leadership role, ideal for someone with a strong background in embedded software development (C, C++ and/or Ada) who has moved into leadership, or a senior developer ready to step into a team leadership position while still remaining technically involved. Alongside the technical leadership, you’ll play an important role in project planning and execution, working closely with stakeholders to ensure software is delivered on time, within budget and to the required quality standards. You’ll lead a small team of 3–4 embedded software engineers, providing technical direction while also coordinating delivery across the full software lifecycle. Around 25–30% of the role will remain hands-on, supporting design decisions, development activities and technical problem solving. This is an excellent opportunity to work on highly advanced defence technology programmes in a collaborative engineering environment where software plays a critical role.

Job Responsibility

  • Leading and coordinating a small team of embedded software engineers
  • Supporting project planning, execution and delivery of software work packages
  • Providing technical leadership and oversight across the development lifecycle
  • Managing risks, issues and delivery updates with key stakeholders
  • Contributing hands-on to development and design activities (approx. 25–30%)
  • Supporting documentation, reporting and quality assurance activities
  • Working within a hybrid development methodology combining iterative and waterfall approaches

Requirements

  • Experience leading, mentoring or coordinating software developers
  • Strong background in embedded software development
  • Knowledge of C, C++ and/or Ada
  • Understanding of the software development lifecycle
  • Some exposure to project planning or delivery coordination
  • Experience with UML and embedded systems development
  • Strong communication skills when reporting progress, risks and delivery updates
  • Must be British Citizens or Dual UK Nationals (due to security clearance)
