As a highly skilled Simulation Software Engineer, you will apply your extensive Simulation Software knowledge and leadership, to support a multidisciplinary engineering team in the delivery of a complex ICT-based Air Battle Management System.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing, assessing, updating and/or developing simulation models, code and test procedures for requirements verification, characterisation and load testing
• Partnering with cross functional engineering teams to enable integration of simulation software with hardware devices and systems.
• Partnering with stakeholders to review and identify simulation requirements and dynamics of the systems being simulated.
• Performing design, modeling, simulation, testing and analysis to assess, trouble shoot and/or optimize overall system performance and capabilities.
• Performing data collection and processing for use in simulations.
• Estimating time required for simulation development and execution activities
• Performing other simulation software project functions such as, risk management, identifying dependencies, scheduling, tasking and progress tracking
• Documenting and maintaining technical code, algorithms, specifications and descriptions of simulation models.
• Modernizing, migrating, sustaining and updating simulation software to adapt legacy systems to new operating systems.
• Technical supervision of less experienced engineers and technicians, including teaching, guiding and coaching.
• Interacting with external customer to present simulation solutions for verification or technical issue investigations
• Ensuring that simulation software meets quality and security standards by performing code reviews, developing unit tests and following verification processes prior to use

To be successful you will be able to demonstrate:
