Software Engineer

WSSE are integral in the development of weapon systems and system architectures, and as a result we have developed a capability supporting developments across the full product life cycle. The team integrate real products, models and synthetic environments to provide visualisations, demonstrations, verification & validation as well as training capability and support.

• The role support the development of the worlds most advanced defence systems from the initial concept all the way through to in service support and training, using a range of simulation technologies, including digital twins and emulators.
• Working with Project Leads and Simulation Architects to design and develop simulation components as an end to end representation of a weapon System in a synthetic environment using C#, C++ and integration simulations, supporting a number of industry standards.
• You will work as part of a heterogeneous agile development team, made up of mixed discipline engineers working in synergy to develop simulations and representations of real equipment.
• Our approach to software development includes o Configuration control o Continuous Integration o Continuous Delivery or Deployment. o Unit testing and test driven development.

Desktop C# is the expertise the department are looking for; with some experience with C++ but doesn't need to be overly extensive., + Proficient in C#

• C++ experience would be great

• Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse,

• Ability to work from high level/system view into technical detail.

• Knowledge of using Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems Non-essential:

• Distributed simulation standards / Protocols (DIS, HLA, DDS) and web services development (JavaScript, Node JS or similar) Military Communications,

• Datalinks and Interfaces such as 1553/1760 and Ethernet TCP/IP

• Practical knowledge of System integration principles and processes
