The Role

Electronic Warfare systems are changing the Defence industry. From being used to confuse or disable an enemy's electronics to collecting an enemy's radio signals or sensing the radar of an incoming missile. These highly complex systems require a keen eye and attention to detail. You will need to be a software engineer who’s not just able to provide good embedded knowledge but who can think outside the box and problem solve on the job.

At Akkodis we know your ADA may be rusty or not used in a while, so we have the answer. As part of your induction in Akkodis we will enrol you on an ADA specific training course. This is suitable for previous ADA users who have maybe not programmed in a while and need a refresher or experience C/C++ engineers who have a strong foundation in engineering looking to broaden their skills.
