I have a contact who is struggling to find a decent software engineer with knowledge of safety critical systems. A background in avionics would be beneficial. If this interests any of you, or you know of someone who might fit the bill, then please PM me. I'm not entirely sure where its based, but its probably in the south west.

Mods - I'm not an agent so please don't delete this, just a contractor with a contact who I'm trying to help out. I don't hang around here much any more, but I used to post fairly regularly - hopefully there will still be some people around who can vouch for me.

Cheers...

Ada C or C++? Rate? There have been lots of jobs lately for embedded, Safety critical and avionics all of which pay well below the rate people are willing to accept.

If it is Ada then I know lots and lots of people.

I don't know what sort of rate they are looking to pay, but there's no agency involved so you can negotiate direct with the client. The work is a research project related to the certification of a real-time software aviation system, so there is no requirement for a specific language.

If you (or anybody else) are interested then PM me and I can let you have the job spec I've been given.
