This is an opportunity to make an impact on a team that takes great pride in delivering the very best solutions in a role that really does 'make a difference' of critical importance. As a software and model engineer, you will be involved in supporting the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of mission-critical simulation software, working as part of a dedicated team. The software runs on Windows and uses the Red Hat Linux environment and is crucial to defence decision-making. The role requires contributing to a rigorous development and test cycle that maintains high customer confidence in both the software and the team maintaining it.
The successful candidate will be a confident C++/C# practitioner, with a background in physics, mathematics, or engineering, and the ability to work effectively with a demanding customer. The role is based in-office in Wiltshire but may involve occasional travel within and outside the UK. Activities will include:
