Software Engineering - Placement

In the 12-month Software Engineering Placement, you'll gain invaluable skills and experience in covering all aspects of software engineering from software design and integration to testing., In the 12-month Software Engineering Placement, you'll gain invaluable skills by working as part of a team during part of (or multiple parts) the Development Life Cycle. Depending on your skillset and role requirements, you will develop your programming languages skills in (but not limited to) Java, C, C++, C#, Python, Raspberry Pi and/or Arduino.

You could be analyzing requirements, designing an application, or defining a test specification or supporting configuration management, database development and system monitoring, engaging with internal and external customers and third-party vendors. We have several different types of roles in different teams:

• On Wing Technology (Bristol)
  -developingintuitive, responsive user interfaces for aerospace applications using modern web technologies. You will design and implement user-facing features with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, working closely with UI/UX designers to turn wireframes into high-quality code and ensure designs are technically feasible. The role involves collaborating with back-end developers to integrate front-end components,participating in agile practices (sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives), engaging in code reviews and best practices,troubleshooting and resolving issues, and staying current with emerging software development trends and technologies.
• Software Engineering ( Cheltenham) - use good engineering practice and AI tools to improve project outcomes across Quality, Delivery, and Cost:
  You strengthen code quality by following agreed coding standards, actively participating in code reviews, and suggesting maintainability improvements that help reduce long-term cost. You contribute to continuous improvement by engaging in team retrospectives and capturing changes that lower defects and delays, improving both Quality and Delivery. You build systems thinking by joining cross-team projects, learning how upstream and downstream changes affect Delivery, Quality, and Cost.
  
  You explore and share advances in tools, frameworks, and AI for engineering, focusing on options that improve Quality, accelerate Delivery, and reduce Cost. You use AI-assisted tools to generate and refine test ideas and documentation,validatingoutputs to improve Quality while reducing Cost and effort. You also apply AI to summarise technical articles and documentation for the team, helping spread knowledge quickly and efficiently, supporting Quality and Delivery at low Cost.
• Software Tools (Cheltenham)
  -maintains, supports, and improves the engineering tool chains used across NPI projects. You will be supported by experienced engineers and a strong learning and continuous improvement culture as you learn the tool chains, contribute to support and enhancement work, and develop through hands-on projects, mentorship, and training. Key responsibilities include optimising day-to-day use of engineering tools (issue triage, root cause analysis, resolution), implementing and testing enhancements to improve usability, reliability, and performance, and translating stakeholder requests into requirements, design changes, implementation, and verification.
  
  You will document configurations, changes, known issues, and test evidence according to engineering policies, prepare and present technical findings and status updates, participate in cross-functional initiatives and continuous improvement activities, and provide timely updates on risks, issues, and progress to support short-term planning and unblock delivery.
• Test Systems (Cheltenham) - you will train up be safe in Lab and Productionareas, learnfull software development lifecycle processes and adhere to them. Track and deliver software releaseson time& identify improvements to projects.
• Engineering Operations Power portfolio (Cheltenham) - provide support across digital transformation activities, helping to drive automation, simplification, and optimisation of business processes. Working with the Business Change Manager, you will help run an effective operating rhythm by preparing reports and dashboards, managing digital reporting tools, dashboards, and web apps, and supporting the implementation of new digital tools. You will track and administer digital transformation projects and other improvement activities, document business data sources, and contribute to defining a future data analytics strategy for Engineering Operations.
  
  The role also involves engaging cross-functionally,facilitatingprocess reviews and improvements, and building strong relationships across the organisation.
