Senior Simulation Systems Engineer
)
The Senior Simulation Systems Engineer will be the first point of contact for providing dedicated Simulation Systems Engineering expertise for the Selborne Project as well as other simulation projects.
The role will require systems / software design, integration, and testing during the design, installation, and operation phases of the Selborne project.
The Selborne Training System consists of a number of Commercial Off-the-Shelf simulation software packages and associated plugins that are combined with a series of visual display systems and some handheld peripherals to create an immersive simulation training environment.
The Senior Simulation Systems Engineer will be required to provide support to the system design and integration of all software in the system covering desktop assets, visual display system, simulation software / engine, simulation hardware, peripheral devices and servers. They will predominantly be based within the Selborne Development Site at Bristol with essential travel to additional sites within the UK as and when required.
The Senior Simulation Systems Engineer will be able to identify and characterise any system failure, extracting and providing adequate debug data to the wider software / system engineering team for collective resolution.
Additional specialist support to a wide variety of exciting and challenging simulation projects will also be required.
