Many of the systems that we create are driven by our own high-performance software. From harsh environments to complex architectures and strict information assurance, our software needs to be proven, reliable and fully integrated. This programme will teach you how to achieve this for everything from a desktop application to a handling system on a world-class ship.
Applications for our programmes are currently closed. But if you register your details, we’ll make sure you’re first to know when our programmes re-open.
As part of a multi-disciplinary team, you’ll need to look at the big picture and understand how the software interacts with the system and its interfaces. You could be working on a huge variety of different projects. You could focus on something as small as an audio console for a communications project. Or you could work on something as large as a handling system on a world-class ship. Whatever you work on, you may be closely involved in the design, specification, implantation and testing of software and associated systems.
