Bristol or Stevenage | Hybrid (2–3 days onsite)
The role
You will develop real-time, performance-critical simulation software used to model complex defence systems (e.g. missile systems, sensors, and system interactions).
Your work will:
* Run under real-time constraints where timing and determinism matter
* Interface with hardware‑in‑the‑loop rigs and test environments
* Support verification, validation, and demonstration of physical systems
* Contribute to distributed simulation environments used across engineering teams
What you’ll need
* Strong C# software engineering experience in a real‑time or performance‑sensitive context
* Experience with real‑time systems, simulation, or systems modelling
* Solid understanding of:
* Multithreading / concurrency
* Performance optimisation
Ideal backgrounds
We are particularly interested in candidates from:
* Real‑time / embedded systems engineering
* Simulation or modelling of physical systems
* High‑performance or low‑latency software development
What you’ll get
* Bonus up to £2,500
* Pension matched up to 14%
* Paid overtime opportunities
* Onsite facilities (subsidised meals, free parking)
* Enhanced parental leave (up to 26 weeks)
Why this role is different
This is an opportunity to work on engineering‑grade software, not business systems. Your code directly contributes to real‑world system behaviour, testing, and validation of advanced defence technology.
