Test Equipment Software plays a critical role in enabling the configuration, verification, validation and production testing of MBDA products. The software developed and supported by the team is used alongside specialist Test Equipment hardware to prove product conformance, support manufacturing output, investigate test issues and maintain reliable test capability across development and manufacturing environments. The role is practical, varied and production (manufacturing) facing. You will develop, maintain, support and improve software used within complex test systems, including test applications, automated test sequences, diagnostic tools, equipment interfaces, data capture, configuration tools and software that interacts with hardware, firmware, operating systems and production test environments. This is not a role limited to writing code in isolation. It suits engineers who enjoy solving practical engineering problems, working close to real equipment, understanding how software behaves in physical test environments, and helping build reliable, supportable and well documented test solutions. The team will support both stability and improvement: ensuring existing Test Equipment software remains reliable and available, while identifying opportunities to standardise, automate, improve diagnostics, reduce recurring issues and strengthen long-term supportability.
