C# Software Engineer (Simulation)

A rare opportunity has opened for a C# Software Developer to join a specialist team building real time simulation and synthetic environments supporting advanced weapon system programmes.

This role is aimed at engineers with time-critical, hardware-integrated, or simulation-driven software backgrounds, not general enterprise developers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop real time software components that model and simulate complex weapon, sensor, or platform behaviours
  • Integrate software with physical or representative hardware, comms interfaces, instrumentation, and external systems
  • Build and support synthetic environments used for visualisation, experimentation, design, verification and validation
  • Contribute to training system development and distributed simulation capability
  • Work across the full engineering lifecycle within an agile scrum environment
  • Support configuration control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery practices

Successful applicants must have clear experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Real time or time-critical software (examples: simulation, HIL, SIL, robotics, gaming engines, industrial control, automotive, aerospace)
  • Hardware/software integration, low-latency communication, or working with physical systems
  • Synthetic environments, modelling, physics engines, or distributed simulation
  • Working inside a multidisciplinary engineering environment with systems, electronics, or hardware teams
  • Strong C# development capability

Additional Useful Experience

  • C++ exposure (advantageous but not essential)
  • Unit testing / TDD
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Agile delivery

The following backgrounds are not aligned to this role:

  • Pure enterprise / business application development
  • Finance, insurance, e-commerce, or general corporate IT
  • Primarily WPF, MVC, web, database, or back-office tooling
  • Developers without real-time, modelling, hardware-integration, or simulation exposure

Benefits:

  • Bonus scheme
  • Annual pay and promotion reviews
  • Enhanced overtime
  • Flexi leave (up to 15 days)
  • Pension (up to 14 percent total contribution)
  • Subsidised facilities
  • Free parking
  • Excellent training, progression, and career development

If your background fits the real time / simulation / hardware-integrated profile and you're looking for a technically challenging environment, contact Keelan ASAP or apply via this advert.

Please note: Due to the nature of the company, only individuals with full SOLE British Citizenship can be considered.
