PAying £75 per hour via Umbrella, due to security reasons the candidate must be a sole British national willing to undergo SC prior to starting the role
We’re looking for experienced Software Engineers to join a specialist team building a high-performance simulation engine. This is a hands-on C++ role focused on performance optimisation and working at the cutting edge of simulation and modelling for defence systems.
What you’ll be working on:
You’ll develop and improve an application-level C++ engine that handles:
-
Data processing and memory management
-
Managing clusters of computers running simulations
-
Linking together various models built in MATLAB/Simulink
The aim is to make simulations run faster and more efficiently, through low-level performance improvements—especially by getting the most out of CPU and GPU hardware (CUDA).
What we’re looking for:
You’ll need solid experience with:
-
C++ and CUDA programming
-
Object-oriented software design
-
GPU/CPU performance optimisation
-
Managing memory effectively
-
Writing clear technical documentation
Bonus points for:
-
Experience with network programming
-
Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink
-
Understanding of RF systems or digital signal processing
-
Working in a configuration-controlled environment
-
Knowledge of continuous integration and automated testing
Important info:
-
This role is 100% on-site due to the nature of the work
-
You’ll be based at the Stevenage site
-
Candidates must be eligible for UK defence security clearance
If you're an engineer who enjoys squeezing every ounce of performance from your code and working close to the metal, this is a great opportunity to get stuck into challenging, meaningful work.
