Job title: Senior Software Developer – Powertrain Data Analytics & Engineering Toolsets
Location: Whitley
Employment type: 1-year FTC (Maternity cover)
We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Developer to join a team focused on developing advanced engineering toolsets that support propulsion calibration, simulation, and data analytics. This role is responsible for designing, developing, and enhancing both desktop and cloud-based software solutions that improve engineering efficiency, automate data processing, and enable data-driven decision making.
Working closely with engineering, data, and digital teams, you will develop scalable applications and cloud services that integrate with industry-standard engineering tools, databases, and internal platforms. You will play a key role in modernising legacy applications, driving automation, and delivering high-quality software solutions that support the full engineering lifecycle.
This is an excellent opportunity for a software engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, improving engineering processes, and working with modern cloud technologies in a collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design, development, and enhancement of cloud-based and desktop engineering toolsets.
- Develop software solutions that import, process, validate, analyse, and visualise engineering and calibration data.
- Build integrations between engineering applications, cloud platforms, databases, and internally developed software.
- Develop scalable data processing solutions to automate reporting, analytics, and engineering workflows.
- Modernise legacy desktop applications by migrating functionality to Python-based desktop and cloud solutions.
- Design and implement software architectures that are maintainable, scalable, and aligned with long-term technology strategies.
- Develop dashboards, visualisation tools, and reporting capabilities to support engineering analysis and decision making.
- Collaborate with engineering, data science, digital platform, and IT teams to deliver integrated software solutions.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities for automation and process optimisation.
- Support the implementation and evolution of CI/CD practices and software development best practices.
- Ensure high standards of software quality through testing, code reviews, documentation, and maintainable design.
