Senior Software Engineer

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.

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:

• 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.

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
• 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.

• 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
• Experience in regulated or safety‑critical environments (e.g., automotive, aerospace, medical, rail)
• Understanding of system architectures and engineering principles
• Experience with distributed simulation, tools or test automation

This company offers leading benefits including bonus, fantastic combined pension contribution, potential for paid over time, Enhanced parental & family leave and much more!

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.
