Job Description:
Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a
Senior Software Simulation Engineer (d/f/m)
As part of the Future Capabilities Simulation team in Germany, you are not just developing simulators —you are developing the platforms of the future. Our mission is centered on pushing the boundaries of what is possible in aerospace simulation, beyond usual R&D. We focus on "Next-Gen" capabilities, exploring how emerging technologies can redefine training and engineering environments.
You will work in a high-autonomy R&D environment, moving from theoretical concepts to functional, high-fidelity, distributed real-time applications. This role is designed for a "Full-Stack" Engineer: someone who is as comfortable designing a low-level C++ physics model as they are in architecting a cloud-native deployment pipeline or a distributed network protocol.
This role is also available with reduced weekly hours and an adapted scope of tasks.
Your location
Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.
Our Benefits for You
- Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
- Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
- Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
- Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
- Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.
Your tasks and responsibilities
- Lead the architectural design of next-generation software components, moving from "proof of concept" to scalable, production-ready simulation frameworks.
- Develop complex, high-performance simulation models (C++) and the supporting software ecosystem. - Design and implement the communication layers for distributed real-time applications, ensuring low-latency data exchange across complex networks.
- Build and maintain modern CI/CD pipelines and leverage virtualization (Containers/VMs) to ensure seamless deployment across diverse hardware environments.
- Create sophisticated developer tools, including code generators and automated testing frameworks, to accelerate the R&D lifecycle.
- Actively participate in the full lifecycle —from requirements engineering to integration and acceptance testing— using modern Processes, Methods and Tools (PMT) and agile methodologies.
Desired skills and qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of proven professional experience in the Industry, in a complex software environment, with a strong focus on simulation or real-time systems.
- Expert C++: Deep understanding of modern C++ (C++17/20), memory management, and real-time constraints.
- Proficiency in Python for automation, data analysis, and tool development.
- Experience with Qt/QML for interfaces or Go for backend services is a plus.
- Proven ability to design modular, extensible, and maintainable software architectures.
- Strong grasp of networking protocols essential for distributed real-time systems.
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or Virtual Machines to manage simulation environments.
- Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
- Mastery of Git and experience working in distributed teams using modern collaboration tools (Jira, Confluence, etc.).
- A "test-first" mindset, with experience in Unit, Integration, and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) as well as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
- Proactive attitude is an absolute must.
- Fluency in English. German and/or Spanish are a plus.
