Defensive Aids Simulation SW Engineer

You will join a team of experienced engineers and subject matter experts to jointly define, implement and integrate complex simulation subsystems in the domain of sensors and weapons. Our engineers are closely collaborating with other departments and external suppliers in order to provide solutions for high-fidelity trainings systems, with current focus on the Eurofighter pilot training simulation system (PSTS). Your responsibility will focus on software development as well as related testing and integration activities within the domain of Defensive Aids Subsystems. You will contribute to high-fidelity simulation solutions for the existing Praetorian DASS and the future Eurofighter Electronic Warfare capabilities. The development work will include retargeting of aircraft software, the simulation of defensive aids models and the integration of 3rd party components.
