Overview:
Expleo is seeking Software Engineers to join our growing Belfast team, delivering high-integrity engineering solutions across a range of complex and safety-critical domains. This role is ideally suited to candidates with experience in safety-critical or defence environments, though we also welcome strong software engineers from non-safety-critical backgrounds who are motivated to transition into this space through structured training and mentorship.
Responsibilities:
As a Software Engineer at Expleo, you will work on the design, development, testing, and integration of software systems used in regulated and high-assurance environments. You will contribute to the delivery of robust, secure, and reliable software solutions, often within defence, aerospace, or other safety-critical industries.
While prior safety-critical experience is highly desirable, we provide comprehensive training and support for engineers looking to develop expertise in standards-driven development environments.

  • Design, implement, and test high-quality software solutions in line with project and regulatory requirements
  • Work within structured development processes (e.g. requirements traceability, verification & validation)
  • Collaborate with systems engineers, test engineers, and stakeholders across multidisciplinary teams
  • Contribute to software design documentation and technical specifications
  • Participate in code reviews and support continuous improvement of engineering practices
  • Ensure compliance with relevant safety, security, and quality standards where applicable
  • Support integration and validation activities in lab or simulated environments
Qualifications:
  • Candidates without direct safety-critical experience are encouraged to apply. Expleo provides:
    • Structured onboarding into safety-critical engineering practices
    • Training in relevant industry standards and compliance processes
    • Mentorship from experienced engineers within regulated domains
    • Opportunities to work on progressively complex and high-assurance systems
Essential skills:
  • Strong understanding of software engineering principles and lifecycle development
  • Good problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work effectively within a team and communicate technical concepts clearly
  • Bare Metal Programming
  • Knowledge of embedded systems or real-time software development
  • HW/SW interfacing
  • Ability to hit the ground running
Desired skills:
  • Background in safety-critical, defence, aerospace, automotive, rail, or other regulated industries
  • Familiarity with standards such as DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or similar
Experience:
  • Background in safety-critical, defence, aerospace, automotive, rail, or other regulated industries
