Alongside this, you will lead software test planning and automation, helping ensure that changes deliver the intended functionality and that existing features continue to perform reliably.\nWorking closely with software, systems and test engineers, you will help turn engineering requirements into repeatable tests, reliable builds and controlled releases. We welcome candidates from a range of software backgrounds. Experience with embedded systems or FPGA development would be beneficial, but is not essential.\nKey Responsibilities\nEstablish, lead and mentor a DevOps team, combining hands-on technical delivery with the development of team capability and effective working practices.\nOwn and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automating builds, testing and deployment to appropriate test environments.\nMaintain reliable, repeatable build environments, including dependencies, engineer access and investigation of build or pipeline failures.\nDevelop automated nightly build and test processes, making results accessible and helping engineers identify and resolve issues.\nWork with engineering teams from the start of projects to translate requirements into test plans, test cases and automated tests.\nLead functional, integration, system and regression testing to verify software behaviour and assess the impact of changes.\nMaintain requirements traceability matrices linking engineering requirements to test coverage and results.\nManage Git workflows across multiple development and release branches, coordinating merges and ensuring fixes reach the appropriate releases.\nBuild and tag releases, maintain release artefacts and ensure build and test results are traceable to the relevant source and configuration.\nProvide clear visibility of test progress, defects, technical risks and release readiness.\nContinuously improve development workflows, test automation, infrastructure and release processes.\nRequired Skills and Experience\nStrong hands-on DevOps experience, including ownership of CI/CD pipelines, build automation and development infrastructure.\nStrong software testing experience, with a practical understanding of functional, integration, system and regression testing.\nStrong practical Git experience, including managing multiple active branches, merging changes, carrying fixes between releases and resolving conflicts.\nExperience using Jenkins or a comparable CI/CD platform to automate build and test workflows.\nExperience translating software or engineering requirements into test plans, test cases and traceable test evidence.\nPractical experience developing and maintaining automated tests, scripts or test frameworks.\nExperience supporting software releases and investigating build failures, test failures and software defects.\nThe ability to lead and coordinate a technical team while remaining actively involved in delivery.\nClear communication skills and the ability to explain technical risks, test results and release readiness to different audiences.\nEligibility to obtain UK Security Check clearance.\nDesirable Skills\nFamiliarity with SVN source control.\nExperience with embedded software, FPGA development, electronics or hardware-integrated products.\nExperience with software-defined radios, wireless communications or networking technologies.\nExperience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, C, C++ or MATLAB.\nKnowledge of hardware-in-the-loop, device-level or RF testing.\nExperience establishing a new team or improving existing DevOps and software testing practices.\nExperience within defence, public safety, broadcast, or another highly regulated or mission-critical environment.\nWhy join DTC\nWork on advanced wireless communication technology used in demanding environments around the world.\nShape a new DevOps team and take ownership of the processes that support reliable software builds, testing and releases.\nCollaborate with experienced specialists across a range of engineering disciplines.\nContribute to products that support defence, public safety, broadcast, and mission-critical operations.\nBenefit from flexible working, a strong benefits package, and ongoing professional development.\nJoin a focused and agile engineering business backed by the resources and international reach of the Codan Group.\nApply\nIf you enjoy hands-on DevOps, have strong software testing experience and want to shape a new team supporting technology that performs when reliable communication matters most, we would be pleased to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6090,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":2,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible
