Senior Software Support Engineer - CUAS / Radars / Sensor Systems - Cambridge
Are you a hands-on engineer who loves solving deep technical problems and becoming the go-to expert in your field? Maybe you've reached a point within Software Development where you fancy a bit of a change, but staying technical?
This is a great opportunity to join a small, highly skilled engineering team working on radar and sensor data processing systems used across defence and CUAS applications
It's not your typical “support” role - you'll be writing code, troubleshooting complex integrations, and working directly with other engineers who speak your language. You'll get to build long-term product knowledge, technical depth, and genuine expertise in a niche but fascinating domain
What you'll be doing:
* Acting as a technical expert, supporting customers with complex software and system issues
* Writing and debugging code in C++ (and sometimes C#) to solve real engineering problems (don't worry - specific C++ and C# experience isn't needed, as you'll learn the products in the position itself - as long as you have a programming background)
* Helping customers integrate products into their systems and advising on technical best practices
* Working closely with internal teams to improve documentation and feed back product insights
* Building deep knowledge in radar and sensor data processing over time
Essential skills:
* Background in CUAS, radar, or sensor systems
* Confident debugging, troubleshooting, and solving complex technical issues
* Comfortable working with technical customers in a support or applications role
* Happy working onsite in a small, collaborative engineering environment
* Self-sufficient, pragmatic, and keen to develop long-term expertise
Desirable skills:
* Strong hands-on experience in C++ (C# / .NET experience a plus)
* Experience with .NET / C#, embedded systems, or DevOps
* Background in physics, maths, geospatial, or defence-related sectors
* Prior customer-facing or pre-sales engineering experience
* Proven track record of long tenure and technical depth in previous roles
