Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Engineer
Defence Technology | Real-Time Systems | Complex Integration
This Simulation Engineer (Hardware-in-the-Loop hands-on role in cutting-edge defence tech, The Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) team is central to testing and developing next-gen missile systems using real hardware and high-fidelity simulations to fine-tune performance, validate capability, and reduce risk ahead of live trials. You’ll be working in a high-tech simulation environment, running complex, real-time scenarios that connect directly to missile hardware, giving engineers critical insight before anything hits the range.
Day to day role:
* Designing and developing real-time simulation environments
* Writing software ‘plug-ins’ to enhance simulation capability
* Working with missile hardware and analysing how it performs in flight-like conditions
* Using Linux and programming in C/C++
* Collaborating with systems engineers, analysts and other specialists
* Diving into system behaviour, performance metrics and integration challenges
To secure this Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Engineer role you will need to have a breadth of experience bringing a good mix of:
* Experience designing or working with real-time software
* Solid C/C++ skills and Linux knowledge
* Comfortable with system integration and debugging
* Interested in how complex systems behave, interact and can be improved
* A proactive mindset—someone who wants to get stuck in and shape how things are done
This is a great opportunity to bring your existing skills to a role that pushes technical boundaries in defence tech.
