• Support distributed simulator architectures, where multiple software and hardware components interact across a network
• Work as part of cross‑domain engineering teams, collaborating with:
• Software engineers on simulation logic and application development
• Hardware and system engineers on simulator infrastructure, deployment, and integration
• Build an understanding of the simulator from a hardware and system perspective, including compute platforms, networking, and physical integration constraints
• Assist in system integration, deployment, testing, debugging, and documentation activities
• Participate in technical discussions to understand end‑to‑end system behaviour and performance considerations
• Adhere to established engineering processes, coding standards, and configuration management practices and security requirements

Required Skills &Qualifications

• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience)
• Experience with game development technologies using Unity and/or Unreal Engine (academic projects, internships, or personal projects are acceptable)
• C++ programming fundamentals, with the ability and willingness to apply and deepen these skills
• Basic understanding of core engineering and software concepts, including:
• Object‑oriented programming
• Debugging and testing
• Version control systems (e.g. Git)
