Senior Software Support Engineer – CUAS / Radars / Sensor Systems – Cambridge
Are you a hands-on engineer who loves solving deep technical problems and becoming the go-to expert in your field? Maybe you’ve reached a point within Software Development where you fancy a bit of a change, but staying technical?
This is a great opportunity to join a small, highly skilled engineering team working on radar and sensor data processing systems used across defence and CUAS applications
It’s not your typical “support” role – you’ll be writing code, troubleshooting complex integrations, and working directly with other engineers who speak your language. You’ll get to build long-term product knowledge, technical depth, and genuine expertise in a niche but fascinating domain
What you’ll be doing:

  • Acting as a technical expert, supporting customers with complex software and system issues
  • Writing and debugging code in C++ (and sometimes C#) to solve real engineering problems (don’t worry – specific C++ and C# experience isn’t needed, as you’ll learn the products in the position itself – as long as you have a programming background)
  • Helping customers integrate products into their systems and advising on technical best practices
  • Working closely with internal teams to improve documentation and feed back product insights
  • Building deep knowledge in radar and sensor data processing over time
    Essential skills:
  • Background in CUAS, radar, or sensor systems
  • Confident debugging, troubleshooting, and solving complex technical issues
  • Comfortable working with technical customers in a support or applications role
  • Happy working onsite in a small, collaborative engineering environment
  • Self-sufficient, pragmatic, and keen to develop long-term expertise
    Desirable skills:
  • Strong hands-on experience in C++ (C# / .NET experience a plus)
  • Experience with .NET / C#, embedded systems, or DevOps
  • Background in physics, maths, geospatial, or defence-related sectors
  • Prior customer-facing or pre-sales engineering experience
  • Proven track record of long tenure and technical depth in previous roles
    If you enjoy deep technical work and want a role where your engineering skill genuinely matters, hit apply
    And if you’re not completely sure but it sounds interesting – apply anyway. Let’s have a chat

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
