The UK's trusted Ministry of Defence partner, MBDA, are looking for a skilled Software Engineer to develop and deliver innovative solutions by exploiting a broad portfolio of software technologies. You will work as part of a small team and be empowered to work individually with little supervision at the site in Bristol.

- Experienced Software Engineer capable of designing, developing, and testing software-based Defence applications.
- The development languages will be C/C++ and Java.
- The Target Operating systems are Windows and Linux and are typically client-server applications.

- The primary emphasis of this role is SW development.
- There may be an occasional need to travel nationally or internationally and collaborate remotely with colleagues at the other UK and overseas sites.
What we're looking for:
- Knowledge of Web services applications and legacy techniques such as CORBA and X-motif would be advantageous but not essential.

- IDEs used include Eclipse and NetBeans for legacy applications.
- DOORS, Rhapsody, and the Rational Team Concert configuration management system are used, and a working knowledge of these tools is desirable. Knowledge of using Jenkins in an automated build and test environment would be helpful.
- Develop collaborative relationships with team members within the SW organisation and other parts of the company and use knowledge and enthusiasm to produce high-quality products promptly.
- An adaptable approach and ability to context switch between multiple software projects at various stages of the software development lifecycle.
- The ability to see through the 'smoke' and focus on the prime task without distraction is essential.
