Embedded Software Engineer

As an Embedded Software Engineer you’ll want the opportunity to work on problems where Stack Overflow or a ChatGPT prompt only gets you so far; a technically curious nature will allow you to create bespoke code, driving forward the country’s safety through compelling delivery.

In a world where new apps are designed to deliver turnover & profit, you’ll be solving problems to deliver functional code to National Security partners; not uploading to app stores and hoping for a viral sensation.

Roke are a leading technology & engineering company with clients spanning National Security, Defence and Industry 4.0 through our Futures business and Intelligence as a Service. You will work alongside our customers to solve their complex and unique challenges.

As our newest Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll gain the skills to develop code across the entire Android tech stack. You’ll partner with National Security customers on unique project structures; delivering mission critical outcomes and supporting technical direction.

The Key Requirements...

• Exposure to Android or Linux internals
• Experience with low level coding languages like C, C++, Java or Kotlin.
  

Built over a 60-year heritage, Roke offers specialist knowledge in sensors, communications, cyber, and AI and ML. We change the way organisations think and act – through dynamic insights from the analysis of multiple layers of data. We take care of the innovative, technical stuff that keeps everyone safe – that’s our mission, passion, and motivation.

Joining a team united by purpose and ambition, you’ll be at the heart of an exciting growth journey: having doubled in size over the last 4 years, we intend to double our headcount by 2027. At Roke, every individual counts. We push technical boundaries, together. We re-invest in product innovation, and we empower our people to make a difference.

With us you won’t be constrained technically, there are multiple projects and each challenge will be different; whilst having exposure to a project landscape unheard of by many.

Where you’ll work…

Alongside hybrid and flexible working options, you’ll find our Romsey site located within beautiful Hampshire countryside, close to the picturesque New Forest District and not far from a superb stretch of the south coast. This is no corporate concrete jungle; this is a manor house site, with ample parking an on-site gym and a driveway full of daffodils in the spring.

• Flexi-time: Working hours to suit you and your life
• Annual bonus: Based on profit share and personal performance
