Software Engineer (C++ Middleware & Interfaces)

Description:

About the role

Contribute to the development, testing, integration, and ongoing maintenance of a tailored C++ middleware solution and its related software interfaces. This position offers hands-on implementation in a supervised engineering setting, with opportunities to build capability in C++, systems integration, communications protocols, testing practices, and software configuration management.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain C++ software modules under the direction of the Senior Software Engineer / Technical Lead.
• Develop middleware functions, software adapters, protocol handlers, message parsers, data-conversion logic, configuration functions, and diagnostic capabilities.
• Assist with integration of software interfaces between the middleware solution and customer, third-party, or internal systems.
• Produce clear, maintainable, and thoroughly documented C++ code in line with project coding standards and established software-development processes.
• Write unit tests and support integration, system, and acceptance testing efforts.
• Investigate software defects by reviewing logs and diagnostic information, reproducing reported problems, and supporting corrective actions.
• Develop and keep technical artefacts up to date, including source-code documentation, test records, configuration files, software release notes, and installation instructions.
• Join code reviews and apply feedback provided by the Senior Software Engineer and the broader project team.
• Employ Git and approved configuration-management procedures to control source code, branches, baselines, and software releases.
• Support activities related to build, deployment, and test-environment setup, including Linux-based development and integration environments.
• Help with customer demonstrations, factory acceptance testing, site integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting as needed.
• Engage in technical discussions with system engineers and other disciplines to understand interface requirements, expected data flows, and integration constraints.
• Stay informed about software quality, cybersecurity, and configuration-control requirements applicable to the project.
