About the role
Forterra is seeking a Software Engineer to design, implement, test, and maintain safety-critical embedded software for autonomous ground vehicle platforms.

You will translate system requirements into readable C/C++ code, implement fault detection and safe response behaviors, and contribute to architecture
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
