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.
