Junior Simulation Software Engineer

Job Description:

We are looking for new engineers in order to cover the increase of workload due to new programs started as SIRTAP or FCAS.

FCAS – Shaping the future of Air Power

FCAS has the potential to become a future key pillar to secure the sovereignty of Europe, strategically, technologically, and industrially! With Spain joining the Franco-German cooperation, the programme took an important step towards its Europeanization. As FCAS is much more than “just” a new Fighter, but an integrated & combined system-of-system including existing and future platforms and tools, the programme will integrate a wide range of the Airbus DS portfolio and competencies.

Become part of the presumably most important defence programme of the next decades.

SIRTAP will provide that performance leap in the high-end tactical UAS segment. Its dual applications will offer a wide array of missions tailored to the operational needs of customers both in the institutional and governmental markets. Designed to fly under the toughest environmental and operational conditions, the UAS will be certified to fly in the segregated airspace and pursue civil operations, all possible with the same platform.

SIRTAP, with over 20 hours endurance and flying at an altitude of 21,000 feet, the tactical UAS is fit for day/night and maritime Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, providing rapid response for close target inspection.

We are looking for Simulation Software Engineers to reinforce our Future Combat Simulation team in Getafe, who will take part in the definition and implementation of complex simulation architectures both programs.

You will work in an international environment which requires close coordination with internal colleagues, stakeholders and external partner companies. As members of an already existing team that works in an Agile way of working, an Agile mind-set is a must for the position.

Your tasks consist mainly of:

- Derive system requirements from operational requirements.

- Design architecture of software modules for new simulator functionalities

- Develop Simulation models representing aircraft equipment within the simulation

- Implement software modules (mainly C++)

- Create and perform unit tests of Software modules (C++ / Python)

- Create tools for improving our development processes (e.g. code generators)

- Perform integration testing
