Experience integrating software or hardware models (deployed to bespoke real-time operating systems), using ICDs/APIs to ensure behaviour and timings are correct.
Generation of test harnesses for software model interfaces (TCP/IP, UDP, JTAG, UART, Digital IQ etc.).
Development of virtual scenarios (including players, terrain, atmosphere, behaviour) using commercial software (VR Forces, MACE, VBS4, Infinite Studio etc.) to meet customer testing requirements.
Knowledge of network architectures and debugging/fault finding (packet loss/delay, rubber-banding etc.).
Awareness of software development best-practices (source control, unit testing etc.).
Our people are important to us, and we take pride in our wellbeing programmes and policies that support individuals including, mental health first aiders and readily available support through our extensive employee assistance programme.
