Ada (Programming Language) Algorithms MATLAB Security Clearance Software Coding Software Development Software Engineering Verification And Validation

Summary: The role of Algorithm / Software Engineer involves migrating a complex legacy algorithm codebase from ADA to MATLAB within a regulated engineering environment, primarily in the defence or aerospace sectors. The position requires collaboration with algorithm engineers and technical specialists to ensure functional equivalence and compliance with coding standards. Candidates should possess experience in high-integrity or safety-critical industries and be eligible for UK security clearance. The role emphasizes strong teamwork and the ability to handle complex technical information effectively.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Transcode a complex legacy algorithm codebase from ADA into MATLAB in collaboration with algorithm engineers and technical experts
  • Define, distribute, and review technical activities within the wider team to support efficient delivery within project timelines
  • Develop test harnesses and implement robust testing strategies to ensure functional equivalence between legacy ADA code and MATLAB implementations
  • Develop MATLAB algorithms in line with defined Codes of Practice to ensure compatibility with auto-coding toolchains
  • Identify and resolve issues related to auto-coding compatibility, reframing algorithms where necessary
  • Work closely with downstream software teams to enable effective transfer and integration of MATLAB algorithm artefacts
  • Support the resolution of technical queries and non-compliances
  • Contribute to verification activities, including requirements verification and evidence review

Key Skills:

  • Experience writing, delivering, and testing algorithm-related software
  • Strong experience developing software and algorithms using MathWorks toolsets (MATLAB)
  • Experience with verification activities, including requirements verification and evidence review
  • Ability to rapidly assimilate complex technical information
  • Strong teamwork and collaboration skills
