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
* Strong C# development capability
Additional Useful Experience
* C++ exposure (advantageous but not essential)
* Unit testing / TDD
* CI/CD pipelines
* Agile delivery
The following backgrounds are not aligned to this role:
* Pure enterprise / business application development
* 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
Benefits:
* Bonus scheme
* Annual pay and promotion reviews
* Enhanced overtime
* Flexi leave (up to 15 days)
* Pension (up to 14 percent total contribution)
* Subsidised facilities
* Free parking
* Excellent training, progression, and career development
