Simulation Project Lead
About the Role
Join a team at the forefront of advancing distributed simulation for complex system design and development. This role offers the opportunity to lead innovative simulation projects that integrate real products, models, and synthetic environments to support visualisation, demonstrations, verification, validation, and training.
As Simulation Project Lead, you will guide a multi-disciplinary engineering team in delivering simulation components for advanced defence systems. You'll work with cutting-edge visualisation tools, IEEE and military standards, and agile methodologies to produce realistic and functional simulation environments.
These can include:
Demonstrators - system representations for evaluation and communication
System Simulators - operator-in-the-loop environments for realistic testing
Emulators - early-stage system representations for integration and proofing
Training Simulators - for both operational and maintenance purposes
Experimentation Platforms - enabling performance assessment in context and system-of-systems testing
Key Responsibilities
Lead delivery and development of simulation solutions across the full project lifecycle
Balance technical innovation with business cost and operational constraints
Oversee the creation of real-time software and hardware integrations to represent complex systems
Manage project scope, requirements, and changes using agile principles
Identify, manage, and mitigate project risks
Act as a key point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders
What We're Looking For
We welcome candidates with a track record in delivering innovative software and/or hardware solutions for simulated or synthetic environments. Experience in the following areas will be advantageous:
Agile project planning, milestones, and critical path management
Strong stakeholder influence and communication skills
Team leadership and people management
Requirements capture and change management
Risk identification and mitigation strategies
What We Offer
Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
Opportunities for career progression, training, and professional development
Enhanced parental leave and family support benefits
