About the Opportunity:
A leading UK engineering organisation is expanding its Real-Time Simulation & Experimentation capability and is seeking skilled engineers with strong C# or C++ experience in real-time, embedded, modelling, hardware-integrated or safety-critical environments.
This is not a web or IT development role. It is a hands-on engineering position that involves building simulation environments, integrating hardware, modelling system behaviours, and supporting real-world engineering activities across the full lifecycle.
Engineers from automotive, aerospace, rail, medical devices, robotics, industrial automation, energy, defence, or any other high-integrity engineering sectors will find their experience highly transferable.
What will you be working on?
You will join a multidisciplinary team creating real-time simulations and synthetic environments used to design, test, validate and train against complex engineered systems. Your work will include:
* Real-time simulation & modelling (SIL/HIL, behavioural modelling)
* Integration of hardware components with simulation frameworks
* Building C# and/or C++ components for system representation
* Developing digital twins and experimental test environments
* Designing tools to support verification, validation & training
* Creating visualisation and analysis tools for system behaviours
This is real engineering: modelling physics, behaviours, interfaces, and integrating hardware - not enterprise apps or websites.
Who We're Looking For?
We are continuing to grow our software team across 2026 and welcome applicants from a broad range of engineering sectors, including:
* Automotive - ADAS, powertrain, embedded systems, real-time control
* Aerospace / Avionics - simulation, modelling, system testing
* Rail & Transportation - signalling, control, safety-critical systems
* Medical Devices - regulated software, embedded control
* Robotics & Automation - motion control, real-time behaviour
* Industrial / Manufacturing Automation - PLC, modelling, hardware integration
* Energy / Renewables - control systems, digital twins
If you're an engineer who codes - not a web developer - this role is designed for you.
Essential Skills & Experience
* Strong experience with C# or C++ in engineering or real-time systems
* Background in real-time, embedded, simulation or hardware-connected software
* Experience with system modelling, system behaviour or control systems
* Exposure to SIL/HIL, digital twins, hardware integration or simulation frameworks
* Ability to produce robust, maintainable, well-tested code
* Comfortable working within Agile methods and multidisciplinary teams
Desirable Experience
* Experience in regulated or safety-critical environments (e.g., automotive, aerospace, medical, rail)
* CI/CD pipelines
* Understanding of system architectures and engineering principles
* Experience with distributed simulation, tools or test automation
What's On Offer?
This company offers leading benefits including bonus, fantastic combined pension contribution, potential for paid over time, Enhanced parental & family leave and much more!
Security Requirements
Due to the nature of the projects, this role requires British Citizenship and the ability to undergo BPSS pre-employment checks, with additional security vetting where required.
