The opportunity:
This is a hands on role working collaboratively with Project Leads, Simulation Architects and the wider 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.
What we're looking for from you:
1. A Lead Software Engineer who is adaptable and creative in their approach to lead a small software development team and advance the technical development of our synthetic environments / simulation components for one of MBDA's weapon systems.
2. A strong background in software (C# and C++), and its realisation and system wide impact, with a robust approach to problem solving.
3. You will have an open approach to software development, as the software you develop can be used across multiple products and projects so strong communication skills are essential.
4. Exposure to real-time software development and simulation standards (DIS and HLA) would be advantageous ho...
