About the role
Lead the architecture, design, and evolution of distributed, real‑time simulation systems across virtual, constructive, and live environments.
Architect and implement high‑performance C++ software for modelling, simulation, integration workflows, and system interoperability, including compatibility with legacy standards.
Develop and optimise real‑time and distributed simulation software supporting multi‑agent scenarios, high‑fidelity environments, and system‑of‑systems simulations.
Integrate defence simulation frameworks such as AFSIM or NGTS to accelerate delivery and ensure alignment with defence customer expectations.
Design and deliver containerised simulation deployments using technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes for development, CI, testing, and operational environments.
Provide technical and project leadership to engineering teams of 5+ contributors across software, autonomy, perception, test, and program functions.
Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to connect simulation with autonomy algorithms, hardware interfaces, and automated test pipelines.
Drive innovation and continuous improvement in CI/CD, test‑driven development, software architecture, and simulation tooling.
Support key customer programs by delivering robust, validated, and scalable simulation environments.
