Job description
MASS is growing its Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) team at Portsdown West, (Fareham, Hampshire). We are looking for a talentedC++ Software Engineerwith experience of working with simulation models, to support cutting edge research, development, and delivery projects, led by our technical customer, Dstl.
This role is largely based within an in-house simulation framework (ITASE) with responsibilities to include:
- Developing toolsets, models, and integration activities in the ITASE framework.
- Incorporating or adapting additional existing Dstl data/models (e.g. signatures) into studies.
- Library linking, development from theory, and re-coding of existing algorithms and data.
- Understanding and aligning assumptions and data across components.
- Understanding and implementing the interactions of multiple entities in a scenario.
Within the role, you will have the opportunity to influence real-world operations through the software you develop. This could be through behavioural effects within a faster-than-real-time simulation environment, or plugins to interface hardware models in a real-time environment. This role will offer the variety and autonomy to showcase your skills as a software developer.
Given the importance of assurance to the end user, your knowledge of the software development lifecycle and modern technologies (e.g. HPC, distributed architectures focusing on edge computing) is essential to better enable development at pace.
This work will allow you the opportunity to interact with customers, understanding how the software models are to be used, and their high-level requirements. Your creativity and autonomy will help translate these asks into deliverable software products.
