Marcus Webb Associates Limited
Heads Hill, Berkshire
Software Engineer (C / C++) Location: Newbury, Berkshire (Hybrid: 2 or 3 days in) Type: Permanent Salary: £45,000 £60,000 A small engineering company developing bespoke instrumentation, industrial automation and data acquisition systems is looking to hire a Software Engineer to support continued growth. The role would suit a software engineer with: A good practical understanding of both hardware and software Confidence with programming in C or C++ but with the desire to learn new languages Strong problem solving skills and a natural interest in technology (and making things work!) Good communication skills with a versatile and flexible attitude to work This is a hands-on role working on real-world engineering problems for various applications including industrial automation, scientific experimentation and product development and validation / test environments. Projects range from custom data acquisition platforms and industrial monitoring systems through to detector readout systems, specialised measurement equipment and more. Typical involvements: Software Engineer (C / C++) Developing software for instrumentation and industrial measurement systems and more Building applications primarily in C / C++ or Rust, alongside some Python, TypeScript and / or LabVIEW where appropriate Working across the full engineering lifecycle from concept through deployment Integrating software with hardware, data acquisition devices and embedded Linux systems Supporting customer projects and occasionally visiting customer sites within the UK Helping improve engineering practices including testing, CI and tooling Skills / Knowledge Required: Software Engineer (C/ C++) A degree in an engineering discipline coupled with 3-4 years of industry experience working within software programming Strong software engineering fundamentals but with a broad systems engineering approach (i.e. understanding the wider system, hardware, integration, etc) Good C/C++ experience. Also any experience with Rust or an interest in Rust would be useful. Experience working with hardware, instrumentation and real-world engineering systems Comfortable working independently within a small engineering business Familiarity with Git / GitLab, automated / unit testing and modern software engineering practices Experience of Linux based systems Beneficial skills: Some embedded Linux experience would be beneficial as would experience of FPGAs or PCBAs Practical electronics skills could be very useful Experience with bespoke data acquisition and control systems or integrating hardware and software for unique engineering applications (e.g., test cells, scientific instrumentation, industrial adaptation of lab equipment, etc) There s a broad mix of work spanning industrial automation, scientific instrumentation and bespoke engineering systems, so an interest in understanding how physical systems work is important. This software engineer opening is commutable from Reading, Newbury Basingstoke, Swindon, Winchester, Oxford, Bracknell and London.
