Location: Cheadle | Fully onsite, Monday–Friday

Akkodis is recruiting an experienced Algorithm Engineer to develop mathematical and signal-processing software for complex defence programmes.

About Akkodis

Akkodis is a global engineering, technology and R&D consultancy, part of the Adecco Group. We bring together engineering expertise and digital capabilities to help our clients develop innovative solutions, supporting projects from initial concept through to delivery.

Scope

• Develop and integrate complex mathematical and signal-processing models into high-quality software solutions.
• Support model-driven engineering through a combination of autogenerated and handwritten code.
• Deliver efficient, reliable software for Linux-based target environments.

Role

You will translate theoretical models into maintainable C++ software, working closely with software engineers and architects to support programme delivery. You will apply clean coding practices, unit testing and static analysis throughout development.

Responsibilities

• Implement mathematical and signal-processing models accurately in C++.
• Integrate autogenerated and handwritten code within a model-driven development environment.
• Develop, deploy and debug software on Linux targets.
• Contribute to distributed-system software design and follow defined development processes.
• Use Git, Bitbucket, Artifactory, JIRA and Jenkins to support development and configuration management.
• Support automated build pipelines using Jenkins or Git runners.
• Communicate technical progress, risks and issues clearly.

Required Experience

• At least eight years of relevant software engineering experience.
• Extensive hands-on C++ development experience.
• Strong experience in computational mathematics and signal processing.
• Proven ability to translate theoretical models into working software.
• Experience with UML, model-driven development and Linux target environments.
• Experience with distributed systems and configuration management.
• Defence-sector experience is desirable.

Required Skills

• Expert-level C++ programming.
• Strong mathematical, signal-processing and model implementation capabilities.
• UML and model-driven development expertise.
• Linux development and shell, Bash or Python scripting.
• Experience with container technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes or Podman.
• Knowledge of TCP/IP networking, GPU programming languages and high-integrity coding practices.
• Strong communication, teamwork and technical delivery leadership.
• MATLAB/Simulink, virtualisation, and DOORS or Polarion experience would be advantageous.

Required Education

No specific formal qualification is stipulated; relevant technical expertise and experience are the key requirements.
