Job Description

Job Description

As a Lead Embedded Software Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing embedded software within the Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) team. Primarily deployed to rotorcraft, our software products process data acquired from sensors placed across the vehicle’s drivetrain in order to inform the users and operators of drivetrain health, guiding maintenance and deployment decisions at the aircraft level. In this role, we are seeking methodical engineers with a strong background in optimising systems utilising embedded C++ coding, with a particular focus on either real time processing of vibration signals and/or control of acquisition, processing, storage and access of vibration data for purposes of IVHM.

  • Continuous Integration and Testing: Maintaining and managing continuous software integration and testing processes to ensure software quality and reliability.
  • Problem-Solving: Identifying software failures and implementing effective solutions, thereby ensuring the robustness of IVHM solutions.
  • Mentorship: Acting as a mentor and resource for less experienced team members, fostering a culture of learning and growth within the team.

Required Qualifications

  • Execution: Experience working within software team in an Agile environment
  • Specialized Experience: Understanding of rotorcraft HUMS operations, including those of Powertrain Vibration Monitoring (PVM) and Rotor Track and Balance (RTB). Experience with DO-178C DAL B is highly desirable, indicating a deeper understanding of the stringent requirements for software that operates at a high level of safety criticality.

Where to Advertise Space Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising space jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans satellite engineers, propulsion specialists, mission analysts, ground segment software developers, space systems architects and commercial space professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary community that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest space candidates are often embedded in ESA programmes, academic research groups, UK Space Agency-funded projects or established primes, and move between roles through sector-specific networks, industry bodies and conference communities rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise space industry roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Space Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Organisations Driving the Future of Space Careers

The space industry is entering a new era of growth, innovation, and commercial opportunity. Satellites, space exploration, Earth observation, space data analytics, launch systems and space infrastructure are all areas seeing rapid expansion, bringing demand for engineers, scientists, operations specialists and software developers. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.UKSpaceJobs.co.uk , identifying employers that are scaling, securing major contracts, attracting investment, or establishing UK operations is vital. This article highlights the most exciting space employers to watch in 2026, including UK space start‑ups, established aerospace organisations with UK teams, and global firms investing in British space talent.

How Many Space Industry Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UK Space Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the space industry — whether that’s spacecraft engineering, mission operations, space software, satellite systems, ground segment integration or space data analytics — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools, platforms and technologies mentioned in job adverts. One role wants experience with CAD and FEA software. Another asks for experience with GNSS simulation. A third mentions mission scheduling tools, RF link analysis suites, Python, C++, continuous integration — and it seems there’s always another acronym to learn. With so much listed, many candidates fall into the trap of thinking they must master every tool under the sun before they’ll be taken seriously. Here’s the honest truth most UK space hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you’ve heard of every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real space problems, explain your reasoning clearly, and deliver results. Tools matter, but they always serve a purpose: achieving mission goals, improving reliability, reducing risk, delivering data, or enabling collaboration. Tools are enablers — not trophies. So how many tools do you actually need to know to get a space job? The answer is much fewer and far more strategic than you might think. This article breaks down: what tools employers really expect which ones are core across most space roles which ones are role-specific how to present your tool proficiency on your CV and in interviews
