Software Engineer (C++ Middleware & Interfaces)

Description:

About the role

Support the development, testing, integration, and maintenance of a customised C++ middleware solution and its associated software interfaces. The role provides hands-on implementation capability within a supervised engineering environment, with opportunities to develop expertise in C++, system integration, communications protocols, testing, and software configuration management.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain C++ software modules under the guidance of the Senior Software Engineer / Technical Lead.
• Implement middleware functions, software adapters, protocol handlers, message parsers, data-conversion logic, configuration functions, and diagnostic features.
• Support the integration of software interfaces between the middleware solution and customer, third-party, or internal systems.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented C++ code in accordance with project coding standards and software-development processes.
• Develop unit tests and support integration, system, and acceptance testing activities.
• Investigate software defects, analyse logs and diagnostic data, reproduce reported issues, and support corrective actions.
• Prepare and maintain technical artefacts such as source-code documentation, test records, configuration files, software release notes, and installation instructions.
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback from the Senior Software Engineer and project team.
• Use Git and approved configuration-management processes to manage source code, branches, baselines, and software releases.
• Support build, deployment, and test-environment setup activities, including Linux-based development and integration environments.
• Assist with customer demonstrations, factory acceptance testing, site integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting when required.
• Participate in technical discussions with system engineers and other disciplines to understand interface requirements, expected data flows, and integration constraints.
• Maintain awareness of software quality, cybersecurity, and configuration-control requirements relevant to the project.
