    An innovative marine engineering business at the cutting edge of electrification and foiling technology is looking to hire two Senior Software Control Engineers to join a highly specialised team working on some of the most advanced vessels in the world.

    This is a rare opportunity to take end-to-end ownership of complex control systems — from early requirements capture through to commissioning and customer handover — in a genuinely small, expert team.

    Senior Software Controls Engineer - The Role:


    You'll be working on next-generation fully foiling, electric vessels, including a flagship high-performance project operating at the very top end of the market. The work blends reuse of proven software with new concept development, giving real technical depth rather than maintenance-only work.

    This role suits engineers who want to see the whole system, not just one repeated subsystem.

    Responsibilities:

    • Designing and delivering full vessel control and flight control systems
    • Owning the process end-to-end: requirements capture → customer engagement → development → commissioning → documentation → handover
    • Developing and optimising control algorithms using MATLAB / Simulink
    • Implementing control logic in C
    • Specifying and integrating sensors, actuators, and embedded systems
    • Working closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers
    • Supporting sea trials, commissioning, and real-world testing with technical support/troubleshooting

    Senior Software Controls Engineer - The Person:


    Qualifications:

    • BEng/MEng with Electrical Engineering, Control Systems or related field
    • Strong background of software control systems engineering
    • Proven experience working on complete systems or vehicles, not just isolated components (automotive, marine, aerospace, special vehicles, advanced R&D environments all relevant)
    • Excellent MATLAB / Simulink capability
    • Solid C programming experience
    • Familiarity with system analysis, modelling & simulation techniques
    • Comfortable dealing directly with customers and stakeholders

    Backgrounds involving full lifecycle delivery—concept to deployment—are key.

    Located on the South Coast, this role would be commutable from Portsmouth, Fareham, Port Solent, Portsmouth & Southampton.
