  • Oversee the delivery of software components for flight simulators, ensuring seamless integration with hardware and systems.
  • Implement robust technical governance frameworks to ensure compliance with aerospace software standards.
  • Drive risk management throughout the software development lifecycle, mitigating issues before they impact delivery.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external customers to align on requirements, milestones, and deliverables.
  • Provide regular reporting on software progress, risks, and key technical decisions.
  • Support process improvements to strengthen software delivery capability across engineering teams.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Work Package Owner, Delivery Manager, Programme Manager, or Technical Lead within software-heavy aerospace or simulation projects.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering lifecycles, including development, verification, validation, and integration.
  • Knowledge of aerospace software standards (e.g., DO-178C or similar) highly desirable.
  • Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams with a significant software engineering focus.
  • Excellent project management, technical governance, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Background in flight simulation, avionics, or complex aerospace software systems is highly advantageous.

Why Join?

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with buy/sell options)
  • Private medical insurance (with family cover options)
  • Pension scheme with up to 7% employer contribution
  • Life assurance (4x salary, up to 10x available)
  • Group income protection
  • Flexible benefits including dental, healthcare cash plan, gym membership & cycle to work
  • Wellbeing and mental health support (Employee Assistance Programme)
