Your role in the team
- Onodrim is building Europe's largest defence and industrial platform. We acquire specialist manufacturers in critical defence and dual-use supply chains, then invest in their growth with capital, technology and operational expertise.
- OnodrimX is our internal R&D unit. It builds the products and technologies the platform needs that no one in our supply chain has developed yet—sensor, compute, and communications systems combining hardware, firmware, and software—and takes them from concept through prototype to demonstration with real users.
- Software engineers at OnodrimX write most of the code that makes those systems work.
- This is a generalist role in a small team. On one programme, you'll be writing firmware for a sensor node and the pipeline that turns its data into detections; on another, the software that runs on a vehicle-mounted compute unit and communicates with radios, other vehicles and a command-and-control system; and on a third, the tooling that lets us test all of it in the field.
- You'll sit next to the hardware engineers, debug across the boundary, and be at the demonstrations when the system has to work.
- You'll report to the Head of R&D and work closely with the Programme Managers, our Forward Deployed Engineers and—as programmes mature—the engineering teams at the manufacturers we acquire, who will take what you build into production.
- Build the software in the system. Write firmware and embedded Linux software for sensor and compute hardware, the services that run on it, and the data pipelines and processing that turn raw signals into something useful.
- Integrate across the boundary. Bring up new boards with the hardware engineers, write drivers and interfaces for radios, sensors and peripherals, and debug problems that live between the schematic and the code.
- Connect to the outside world. Implement the interfaces to tactical networks, command-and-control and situational-awareness systems, data platforms and partner equipment that our systems have to plug into.
- Own a work package. Take a sub-system from the programme plan, scope it with the Head of R&D, estimate it, build it, test it and integrate it on the milestone date.
- Make it testable. Build the tooling, simulators, logging, and automated tests that let the team iterate quickly in the lab and trust what they take to the field.
- Support trials and demonstrations. Travel to test sites and customer demonstrations, keep the system running under real conditions, and feed what breaks back into the next iteration.
- Prepare for production. Keep builds reproducible, interfaces documented and configuration explicit so that a manufacturer can take the software over, flash it, test it and support it.
- Use the modern toolchain. Apply data platforms and LLM-based tooling where they make the team faster, and have a view on where they don't.
- Raise the bar. Review others' code, share what you learn, and help onboard the engineers who join after you.
Our expectations of you
Education
- A degree in computer science, software or electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline—or an equivalent track record of shipped systems.
Qualifications
- Strong in a modern programming language and willing to learn whatever the platform needs.
- Familiarity with AI coding tools and the ability to understand how to make the best use of them.
- Hands-on with hardware: you have brought up a board, read a datasheet, used an oscilloscope or logic analyzer, and debugged a problem that turned out to be electrical.
- Comfort with Linux at the system level—build systems, cross-compilation, networking, performance—and with modern engineering practices: version control, CI, automated testing, and code review.
- A builder's mindset: you prefer a working prototype this week to a complete design next month, and you finish what you start.
- Clear, direct communication in English, both written and spoken, with engineers and non-engineers.
- Willingness to travel within Europe for trials and demonstrations, with occasional travel to the US.
- Right to work in the UK, Switzerland or the EU, and eligibility for a national security clearance in at least one of our operating countries.
Experience
- 3+ years of experience as a software engineer, with hands-on experience in at least two of the following areas: embedded/firmware, embedded Linux and systems programming, data pipelines and signal or sensor processing, networking and protocols, and backend services.
What we offer
- We operate our business in English, but fluency in one or more additional European languages is beneficial.
