About the Opportunity:
A leading UK engineering organisation is expanding its Real-Time Simulation & Experimentation capability and is seeking skilled engineers with strong C# or C++ experience in real-time, embedded, modelling, hardware-integrated or safety-critical environments.
This is not a web or IT development role. It is a hands-on engineering position that involves building simulation environments, integrating hardware, modelling system behaviours, and supporting real-world engineering activities across the full lifecycle.
Engineers from automotive, aerospace, rail, medical devices, robotics, industrial automation, energy, defence, or any other high-integrity engineering sectors will find their experience highly transferable.
What will you be working on?
You will join a multidisciplinary team creating real-time simulations and synthetic environments used to design, test, validate and train against complex engineered systems. Your work will include:
- Real-time simulation & modelling (SIL/HIL, behavioural modelling)
- Integration of hardware components with simulation frameworks
- Building C# and/or C++ components for system representation
- Developing digital twins and experimental test environments
- Designing tools to support verification, validation & training
- Creating visualisation and analysis tools for system behaviours
This is real engineering: modelling physics, behaviours, interfaces, and integrating hardware – not enterprise apps or websites.
Who We’re Looking For?
We are continuing to grow our software team across 2026 and welcome applicants from a broad range of engineering sectors, including:
- Automotive – ADAS, powertrain, embedded systems, real-time control
- Aerospace / Avionics – simulation, modelling, system testing
- Rail & Transportation – signalling, control, safety-critical systems
- Medical Devices – regulated software, embedded control
- Robotics & Automation – motion control, real-time behaviour
- Industrial / Manufacturing Automation – PLC, modelling, hardware integration
- Energy / Renewables – control systems, digital twins
If you’re an engineer who codes – not a web developer – this role is designed for you.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Strong experience with C# or C++ in engineering or real-time systems
- Background in real-time, embedded, simulation or hardware-connected software
- Experience with system modelling, system behaviour or control systems
- Exposure to SIL/HIL, digital twins, hardware integration or simulation frameworks
- Ability to produce robust, maintainable, well-tested code
- Comfortable working within Agile methods and multidisciplinary teams
Desirable Experience
- Experience in regulated or safety-critical environments (e.g., automotive, aerospace, medical, rail)
- CI/CD pipelines
- Understanding of system architectures and engineering principles
- Experience with distributed simulation, tools or test automation
What’s On Offer?
This company offers leading benefits including bonus, fantastic combined pension contribution, potential for paid over time, Enhanced parental & family leave and much more!
Security Requirements
Due to the nature of the projects, this role requires British Citizenship and the ability to undergo BPSS pre-employment checks, with additional security vetting where required.
