You’ll be working with unique equipment with the latest (and sometimes bespoke) technology which naturally leads to new problems, so we’re looking for you to be a strong problem solver and thrive in solving engineering challenges.

Your role will involve:

• Maintaining software aspects of simulator environment
• Assisting with onsite integration, installation, test and acceptance
• Providing software trouble shooting and debugging support of simulator software deficiencies and liaise with various engineering groups in the clearance of defect reports

Working hours:

This is to ensure continual operation of the simulators for our customers.

What kind of person would succeed?

A natural willingness to explore, innovate, and come up with solutions. You’ll be constantly presented with new challenges, software issues, breakdowns, and there’s not always a set way to deal with a particular issue, but this team will work together to diagnose and fix the issue. No two days are the same!

You must be able to obtain or transfer SC clearance (likely to require 5 years of UK residency). You may also be able to transfer non-UK security clearance from overseas.
