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 w...
