Several Graduate to Junior and Mid level Software Engineers required by a leading global provider of telepresence, high-definition videoconferencing and mobile video products and services. Its mission is to change the way people communicate. The UK operation was ranked in the top 10% of Best Companies to Work for in the UK in the Times on line survey of best 100 companies. UK R&D has already increased its headcount by over 20 engineering staff this year and has a remit for further significant expansion. It comprises of two groups which co-operate closely to define, develop and test solutions for customers, but are given a high level of autonomy and “ownership” so that they are their own self-contained business units. Consequently each one is characterised by a start-up mentality and efficiency; i.e. short time to market and an informal organisation where abilities, interests and ambitions determine an individual’s present status and future in the company.
This company has always placed considerable emphasis on finding the very best graduates, believing that lack of commercial experience is no handicap as such individuals rapidly become highly productive members of the team. Well aware that their great products and commercial success spring directly from the intellectual energy and technical passion that the teams put into their work, my client ensures it provides an environment that will cultivate the talents of the new graduates recruited.
You will work in a division which designs, creates and implements the most technologically advanced video conferencing infrastructure equipment available on the market today. The software team plays a crucial role in achieving this. Based on massively parallel processor architectures, the work spans FPGA programming, hardware-level programming, operating system implementation, DSP work (including multiprocessor media processing frameworks and codecs), protocol implementation and highly advanced control and management applications. A particular characteristic of this division is that the company builds the majority of its software in-house to obtain the performance and flexibility required.
Main duties and responsibilities
•Involvement in the specification of new products and features
•Design/development of the products & features, working independently and as part of a wider team
•Both architectural/system design and detailed coding
•Working closely with the test and support teams to ensure and maintain the quality of the product
•Working with other groups (manufacturing/documentation etc) involved in shipping finished products
British educated graduates must have achieved a 2i or 1st class honours degree in Electronic & Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering Sciences or Maths, from one of the UK’s top universities. Plus a minimum of AAB at ‘A’ level. Those educated outside the UK need to have achieved the same standard. 2010 Graduates who have achieved at least 3 A's at A'level, with a UK Education will also be considered.
It is likely that you will have either completed a computing related work placement during your studies or undertaken technical projects pursued as a result of personal interest. All roles with the company require an interest in either hardware or low level (systems/embedded) software. In addition, software development in C and C++ would be an advantage.

Software Engineers/ Software Developers required from graduate to senior level at one of the world's leading communications and telephony technology companies. They are a strategic technology supplier to customers ranging from well established giants such as Microsoft, Cisco, AT&T, to new start-ups full of potential.They not only provide customers with world-class products and services but are also recognised for providing employees with an excellent work environment and outstanding benefits. This can be confirmed by the fact that they were placed in the top ten for the fourth consecutive year in The Sunday Times ‘100 Best Companies To Work For’.Their success is based on their ability (and dedication) to recruit outstandingly talented individuals, and train and develop them to fulfil their potential and aspirations.
Started in 1981, they have grown from the seven founders to over 360 people, retaining the flexibility and vibrancy of a small organisation.Their main office is in North London with offices also in Chester, Edinburgh, San Francisco and WashingtonDC.They are a remarkably stable and profitable organisation, with both revenue and profit increasing in every year since the company was formed.
My client has built its success on an unrivalled ability to develop high-quality communications software that is used worldwide as a core element of the Internet Protocol (IP) and telecommunications revolution.Their approach to software development involves disciplined project management and execution, encouragement of imaginative and creative ideas and solutions as well as exceptional team spirit and productivity.Thus, while every project is managed using the same core disciplines and processes, each project team and its team members have freedom and responsibility to exercise their minds and contribute in the broadest possible way, to help deliver world-class solutions.
As a Software Engineer you will be part of a team, and will be given responsibility for a variety of tasks within a full software development lifecycle including:
·drawing up product specifications
·product or component architecture
·prototyping new solutions or ideas
·code development and unit testing of the product
·integration and system testing of the final solution.
Team projects may last for anything from a few weeks, to many months, and will typically involve team sizes of 3-6 engineers working together with a project manager.Team members may go on to support the product at customer sites, including providing training and support for live systems.
Raw talent is the key requirement.Whether you are about to graduate or complete a PhD, are considering your next career move from your “first job”, or have many years of industry experience and need a fresh challenge; my client can provide the environment for you to develop and advance your career in the direction you desire.
As well as having an outstanding academic background (As at A level or equivalent together with a 1st Class or Upper Second degree from a top tier university), you will have the following skills:
·good problem-solving abilities
·a versatile and creative mind
·self-motivation, energy and discipline
·good communication skills
·an ability to enjoy yourself!
Their focus on education, training and mentoring means that, even as a new graduate with little software engineering experience, you can quickly become a proficient and productive member of their team.Alternatively, as an experienced engineer, you will have software engineering skills – e.g. in programming languages such as C, C++ or Java, operating systems such as Linux or Solaris, or expertise in web development tools or communications protocols - that can immediately be applied to a range of software engineering projects.
Remuneration packages are above the normal range to ensure that they attract candidates of exceptional quality. Remuneration is reviewed regularly on the basis of performance and they really do reward employees in accordance with their contribution.This claim is strengthened by their policy of profit distribution where there are no outside shareholders and all employees have a stake in the future wealth that the company creates.
Other benefits include:
·non-contributory pension, life assurance and private medical schemes.
·company car loan scheme.
·highly flexible working environment
·various out-of-hours activities and regular outings

Graduate Security Evaluator required by global company based in Maidenhead, Berkshire. This company's technologies secure the delivery of entertainment and information to TVs, set-top boxes (STB), personal computers and mobile devices. This is the only company which can provide end-to-end solutions to the digital broadcast TV industry. Their complex systems enable network operators and content providers to profit from emerging digital TV technology and other interactive services.
This role is in a security test laboratory, specialising in Common Criteria (CC) and CESG Claims Tested Mark (CCTM) evaluations. They perform evaluations of hardware and software devices as well as smartcard related work. As the Graduate / Junior Evaluator you will support the evaluation team on both CC and CCTM evaluations, and will assist with research projects as time allows. It is intended that you will achieve Qualified Evaluator status.
Your main Duties and Responsibilities will be to undertake Common Criteria and CCTM evaluations, under the direction of the team. You will assist with testing and analysis work, supporting side channel analysis (power analysis, laser faulting and so on), electro-magnetic emanations analysis, and undertake laboratory work on sample preparation (once training in use of lab equipment has been completed). The range of technology security testing is extremely broad but a concentration on networked products will be an initial focus.
Skills and Experience
• Recent 1st Degree or Masters - preferably in Computer Science or related discipline (Communications or Security biased)
• Some security testing/evaluation degree content would be an advantage, although training will be given.
• Familiarity with technical security concepts would be preferable.
• Familiarity with common operating systems and Networking principles (Windows, Unix, TCP/IP, etc)
• Good communication skills, both written and oral, as work is often directly client facing
• Ability to use standard Office packages (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) is expected.
You must be willing to undergo security clearance under HMG to at least SC level as Qualified Evaluator status requires an SC clearance as a minimum, in addition to the technical requirements of QE. This means that candidates will need to be UK nationals to ascertain the clearance within the time period.
Working within a small team, you will need to fit in well with the existing team, and be able to work with minimum supervision. You must be willing to undertake occasional short international visits, as many of their clients are overseas and they are often required to undertake work on-site. You will be confident in dealing with clients, who are often of a senior level, hence confident communication skills are paramount. You must be willing to undertake training, both formal and self learning, with a view to developing the necessary skills and attitude of mind to become a successful evaluator.
