Overview
This is a hands on role working collaboratively with Project Leads, Simulation Architects and the wider MBDA project team, with the development of synthetic environments using the C family of programming languages. The role combines aspects of technical leadership, project management and team building. 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 integrates real products, models and synthetic environments to provide visualisations, demonstrations, verification & validation as well as training capability and support. This role will offer you to:
Grow your skills and abilities, whilst supporting the full MBDA development lifecycle. Develop a broader view of systems of systems engineering and drive the technical innovation through a synthetic environment. Work on the worlds most advanced defence systems from the initial concepts with advanced visualisation techniques (AR/VR) and demonstrations all the way through to in service support and training. Underpinning everything we do is experimentation and you will be part of the team developing new innovative ways and capabilities to support weapon systems development for domestic and international customers.
Responsibilities
* Lead a small software development team and advance the technical development of our synthetic environments / simulation components for one of MBDA\'s weapon systems.
* Develop and maintain software in C# and C++ and assess its realisation and system-wide impact with a robust approach to problem solving.
* Adopt an open approach to software development so that the software you develop can be used across multiple products and projects.
* Work with real-time software development and simulation standards (DIS and HLA); exposure is advantageous but not essential.
Qualifications
* A strong background in software (C# and C++), and its realisation and system wide impact, with a robust approach to problem solving.
* You will have an open approach to software development, as the software you develop can be used across multiple products and projects.
* Exposure to real-time software development and simulation standards (DIS and HLA) would be advantageous, however it is not crucial.
