C# Software Engineer (Simulation)

A rare opportunity has opened for a C# Software Developer to join a specialist team building real time simulation and synthetic environments supporting advanced weapon system programmes.

This role is aimed at engineers with time-critical, hardware-integrated, or simulation-driven software backgrounds, not general enterprise developers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop real time software components that model and simulate complex weapon, sensor, or platform behaviours
• Integrate software with physical or representative hardware, comms interfaces, instrumentation, and external systems
• Build and support synthetic environments used for visualisation, experimentation, design, verification and validation
• Contribute to training system development and distributed simulation capability
• Work across the full engineering lifecycle within an agile scrum environment
• Support configuration control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery practices

Successful applicants must have clear experience in one or more of the following areas

• Real time or time-critical software (examples: simulation, HIL, SIL, robotics, gaming engines, industrial control, automotive, aerospace)
• Hardware/software integration, low-latency communication, or working with physical systems
• Synthetic environments, modelling, physics engines, or distributed simulation
• Working inside a multidisciplinary engineering environment with systems, electronics, or hardware teams

Additional Useful Experience

• C++ exposure (advantageous but not essential)
• Unit testing / TDD

The following backgrounds are not aligned to this role

• Finance, insurance, e-commerce, or general corporate IT
• Primarily WPF, MVC, web, database, or back-office tooling
• Developers without real-time, modelling, hardware-integration, or simulation exposure
• Annual pay and promotion reviewsEnhanced overtime
• Flexi leave (up to 15 days)
• Pension (up to 14 percent total contribution)
• Subsidised facilities
• Free parking
• Excellent training, progression, and career development
