Software Integration Engineer to £55k + Benefits Southampton
In the initial stages of the development and integration of a new feature, Integrators work alongside the System Architect and the Developers. They bring their wider knowledge of the system and also identify early what will be required to integrate the new feature (infrastructure, simulators, components, etc). The development follows an Agile approach with the Integrators adding the functionality to the middleware test framework required to prove the new features.

The Integrator takes responsibility for the resolution of the challenging technical issues that arise as the project progresses.
