Software Development Lead

Join the Systems Technology & Capability Delivery Team within FalconWorks, where we are shaping the future of aerospace innovation. Our mission is to identify emerging technologies, mature early concepts, and deliver real value into next-generation Air Sector products. This is a fast-paced, creative environment, different from traditional, requirements-led development, where ideas move rapidly from concept to application. We’re looking for curious, adaptable, and self-driven engineers who are passionate about technology and thrive in collaborative, multi-disciplinary settings. You will work closely with specialists across domains such as Mission Systems, Autonomy, Simulation, and Test & Evaluation, as well as external partners from academia, SMEs, and industry. As a Software Development Lead, you will help turn bold ideas into reality, leading innovative software solutions from concept to demonstration and playing a key role in defining the technologies that will power future air systems. This is a place where you can make a real difference. You will be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity of thought, rewards integrity and merit, and where you’ll be empowered to fulfill your potential. We welcome people from all backgrounds and ensure our recruitment processes are as inclusive as possible. Please be aware that many roles are subject to both security and export control restrictions. Applicants must achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard and, in many cases, require higher levels of National Security Vetting, typically needing 5 to 10 years of continuous residency in the UK. *Closing Date: 27th November 2025. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.*
