Join hirify.global's Electronic Warfare Operations Support Group, an 80+ person group of engineers, scientists, and former military personnel delivering operational support and synthetic trials for government and industry partners.

What you will do

• Develop spectrum-wide scene-generation and behavioural models for high-fidelity electronic warfare simulations.
• Integrate virtual and constructive players with live hardware models to build realistic synthetic-range testbeds.
• Model visible-light, infrared, and radio-frequency interactions while keeping scene-generation tools coherent.
• Develop and use automated, repeatable simulation runs for high-importance synthetic trials.
• Deliver testing against the individual requirements of government and industry partners.

Requirements

• Experience writing test-automation scripts for real-time systems using tools such as MATLAB, Python, or LabVIEW.
• Experience working in virtual or constructive environments, including software-model integration, behaviour scripting, and output synchronisation.
• Experience integrating software or hardware models deployed to bespoke real-time operating systems, using ICDs or APIs to verify behaviour and timing.
• Ability to solve problems methodically.
• STEM degree.
• Must be a UK national, eligible to work in the UK, and eligible to obtain and maintain UK Government SC-level security clearance.

Nice to have

• Experience generating test harnesses for software-model interfaces including TCP/IP, UDP, JTAG, UART, or Digital IQ.
• Experience developing virtual scenarios with players, terrain, atmosphere, and behaviour using commercial software such as VR Forces, MACE, VBS4, or Infinite Studio.
• Familiarity with synchronisation and timing architectures.
• Knowledge of network architectures and debugging issues such as packet loss, delay, and rubber-banding.
• Awareness of software-development best practices including source control and unit testing.
• Knowledge of electronic warfare systems.
