ADA Engineer
We are seeking an experienced ADA Engineer to support the development, maintenance, and enhancement of complex simulation and software systems within a highly regulated engineering environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in sustaining and modernising legacy software applications, including environmental simulator software, while supporting ongoing programme requirements.
This role would suit an engineer with strong ADA development experience, ideally gained within aerospace, defence, simulation, or safety-critical systems environments. Experience with C++ is desirable, particularly where it has been used alongside legacy ADA codebases.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, maintain, and enhance software solutions written primarily in ADA.
- Support and modify legacy environmental simulator applications.
- Analyse software defects, perform root cause investigations, and implement corrective actions.
- Participate in software design, integration, verification, and testing activities.
- Produce and maintain technical documentation throughout the software lifecycle.
- Collaborate with systems, software, and integration teams to deliver project objectives.
- Support software modernisation and migration activities where required.
- Contribute to code reviews and ensure compliance with relevant engineering standards and processes.
- Assist with maintaining software quality, reliability, and performance.
