Responsibilities:

  • Designing and developing real-time test and capture software using C++ in a Linux environment
  • Integrating and interfacing with high-speed SFPDP cards across multi-channel data pipelines
  • Architecting and implementing robust, scalable, and maintainable multi-threaded applications
  • Defining and implementing data sequencing and synchronisation logic to support deterministic capture and replay
  • Collaborating with hardware teams to ensure seamless integration and timing alignment between software and capture cards
  • Leading and contributing to system integration, verification, and testing at both component and system levels
  • Conducting performance analysis, debugging, and optimisation of real-time systems
  • Documenting architecture, interface definitions, and test procedures to support handover and formal test activities

    Requirements:

  • Extensive experience in C++ development in a Linux environment
  • Proficiency in C# for tooling, test interfaces, or Windows components as needed
  • Proven experience working with real-time data systems, preferably involving SFPDP or other high-speed digital protocols
  • Demonstrable skills in multi-threaded and concurrent programming
  • Experience with low-level I/O, DMA, or driver-level interactions with PCIe cards or similar
  • Familiarity with software sequencing frameworks or custom state machines for test execution
  • Strong experience with integration, system test, and debugging complex interactions between software and hardware
  • Solid understanding of software design principles, memory management, and performance optimisation
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD pipelines

    Desirable skills include:
  • Experience with SFPDP (Serial Front Panel Data Port) specifically in defence, aerospace, or data acquisition contexts
  • Knowledge of FPGA-based data acquisition systems and synchronisation methods
  • Familiarity with unit testing frameworks, automated test rigs, or hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) setups
  • Experience developing or integrating with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or using real-time Linux extensions

    If you possess the required skills and experience, and are excited to contribute to the development of cutting-edge real-time test and data capture systems, we encourage you to apply for this Software Engineer position.

How to Get a Better Data Engineering Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy can be unexpected and unsettling, especially in a field as technically demanding as data engineering. But the good news is: your skills are still in high demand. The UK continues to see strong growth in data infrastructure, cloud analytics, machine learning pipelines, and data governance roles. Whether you're a big data engineer, ETL specialist, cloud data platform expert, or someone working in real-time streaming and pipelines, there are new opportunities to rebuild and rebrand your career. This guide is designed to help UK-based data engineers bounce back after a redundancy, with a step-by-step roadmap to relaunch into a stronger, better-aligned role.

Data Engineering Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads data engineers today Ask any Data Engineer elbow‑deep in late‑arriving CDC streams, an Analytics Engineer stockpiling dbt models, or a DataOps Lead juggling Airflow failures: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes monthly. New GPU‑hungry AI workloads spike storage costs, lakehouse toolchains displace legacy marts, & suddenly real‑time streaming isn’t “nice to have” but the lion’s share of your backlog. Each shift nudges salary bands. A PDF salary guide printed in 2024 under‑reports pay the moment Databricks announces another acquisition or HMRC mandates digital provenance. To provide an up‑to‑date benchmark, DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Plug in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; out pops a realistic 2025 salary. No stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, details the forces pushing data‑engineering pay upward, & offers five practical actions to lift your value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Data Engineering Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

As the demand for data engineers grows, so do the expectations. It’s not enough to build robust pipelines or optimise ETL jobs—UK employers now look for candidates who can also communicate clearly with stakeholders, especially those without technical backgrounds. Whether you're applying for a data engineering role in finance, healthcare, retail, or tech, your ability to explain complex systems in plain English is becoming one of the most valued soft skills in interviews and in the workplace. This guide will help you master public speaking for data engineering roles: from structuring your presentation and designing effective visuals, to simplifying terminology, storytelling and confidently answering stakeholder questions.
