Careers

Senior Software Engineer

Description

As a talented software engineer, you can work on a variety of projects at TTP, often combining hardware, applications, and cloud-based services. You will have the opportunity to use your deep experience in one domain, and broader knowledge across many domains. Your ability to get quickly up to speed with new technologies will guide our cutting-edge designs.

TTP is growing a central software capability, to accommodate the expanding demand for innovative software solutions that make a real difference to people’s lives and grow business across a wide range of application areas. Our work is diverse – covering everything from connected medical implants & desktop biology; bespoke protocols for safety-critical applications; next generation satellite communications; low-latency industrial automation & imaging; and large scale IoT systems. Two projects are rarely the same, so we provide an excellent environment for you to grow and learn; or to pivot your existing expertise and enthusiasm into an entirely new technical domain.

There has never been a better time for software experts to join TTP. Our team supports the full software consulting cycle, from initial sales and software systems definition, through to design, development, delivery and production support. Sometimes we collaborate with client R&D teams, or third-party software houses; offering an unparalleled opportunity for TTP software experts to grow their client-facing commercial acumen alongside technical and operational leadership skills.
