About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a Graduate Software Test & Development Engineer to join a product development team working on software-controlled power systems used in long-life, safety-critical applications.
This role is well suited to someone early in their career who enjoys writing code, breaking software (on purpose), and understanding how software interacts with real hardware.
You don't need prior industry experience - training, mentoring, and hands-on support are built into the role.
You'll help develop and test the software used to manage power feeding equipment, which provides controlled electrical current to complex infrastructure systems.
Your work will directly contribute to system safety, reliability, and performance.
What You'll Be Working On
Based in Greenwich, you'll work closely with software developers, test engineers, and the wider product development team to:
Develop and test software used to control power systems
Carry out unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing
Help verify that software operates within defined safety and design limits
Produce clear test evidence and compliance reports
Identify bugs, unexpected behaviour, and opportunities for improvement
This is a hands-on role that blends software development, testing, and real-world system understanding.
What You'll Be Learning & Doing
With support from experienced engineers, you will:
Plan and execute test cases alongside a Software Test Engineer
Test software builds to ensure they are ready for release
Support the software release process
Investigate, reproduce, and evaluate software bugs
Contribute to the development of software tools and utilities
Perform system-level testing where software controls hardware behaviour
Document results clearly and provide structured technical feedback
What We're Looking For
This role is designed for graduates - we're more interested in curiosity, problem-solving, and clear thinking than deep industry experience.
You might be a good fit if you can relate to some of the following:
Software & Programming
Experience writing software in C and/or C++ (through university projects, placements, or personal work)
Some familiarity with HTML
Interest in or exposure to JavaScript / TypeScript and Linux (desirable, not essential)
Enjoyment of debugging and understanding why something doesn't behave as expected
Testing & Systems Thinking
An interest in software testing across firmware, software, and hardware boundaries
Awareness of different testing levels (unit, integration, system)
A methodical approach to validating behaviour against requirements
Hardware Awareness (Beneficial but Not Required)
Basic electrical or electronic understanding
Exposure to lab or test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, or multimeters
Curiosity about how software controls physical systems
Key Responsibilities (With Support)
Test software builds prior to release
Support and follow structured software release processes
Evaluate and document software bugs
Assist with compliance and validation reporting
Work collaboratively with software developers and test engineers
Learn and apply safe testing practices in a system-level environment
What You'll Bring
A degree (or Level 5 qualification) in Software Engineering, or Electronic Engineering with a software focus
A logical, detail-oriented mindset
Willingness to learn and ask questions
Clear communication and good documentation habits
Interest in building reliable, well-tested software
Why Join?
A genuine graduate role with structured learning and mentoring
Exposure to real-world, safety-critical software systems
Opportunity to develop skills in software testing, development, and system validation
A supportive, inclusive team environment based in Greenwich
Work that has real impact on long-life engineering products
If you are interested, please apply!
