Job Description
Simulation Project Lead
About the Role
Join a team at the forefront of advancing distributed simulation for complex system design and development. This role offers the opportunity to lead innovative simulation projects that integrate real products, models, and synthetic environments to support visualisation, demonstrations, verification, validation, and training.
As Simulation Project Lead, you will guide a multi-disciplinary engineering team in delivering simulation components for advanced defence systems. You'll work with cutting-edge visualisation tools, IEEE and military standards, and agile methodologies to produce realistic and functional simulation environments.
These can include:
* Demonstrators - system representations for evaluation and communication
* System Simulators - operator-in-the-loop environments for realistic testing
* Emulators - early-stage system representations for integration and proofing
* Training Simulators - for both operational and maintenance purposes
* Experimentation Platforms - enabling performance assessment in context and system-of-systems testing
Key Responsibilities
* Lead delivery and development of simulation solutions across the full project lifecycle
* Balance technical innovation with business cost and operational constraints
* Oversee the creation of real-time software and hardware integrations to represent complex systems
* Manage project scope, requirements, and changes using agile principles
* Identify, manage, and mitigate project risks
* Act as a key point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders
What We're Looking For
We welcome candidates with a track record in delivering innovative software and/or hardware solutions for simulated or synthetic environments. Experience in the following areas will be advantageous:
* Agile project planning, milestones, and critical path management
* Strong stakeholder influence and communication skills
* Team leadership and people management
* Requirements capture and change management
* Risk identification and mitigation strategies
What We Offer
* Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
* Opportunities for career progression, training, and professional development
* Enhanced parental leave and family support benefits
