  • Maintain and support existing simulator installations worldwide
  • Contribute to R&D improvements and testing of Excalibur software and related tools
  • Create and maintain user guides, technical manuals, and engineering documentation

Essential Requirements

  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering (or a related discipline with strong aerospace knowledge)
  • Demonstrated interest in flight dynamics, aircraft systems, or control theory
  • Strong communication skills and experience in customer-facing technical roles
  • Hands-on engineering aptitude (hardware/software integration, fault-finding, etc.)
  • Experience with software tools or programming – graphics libraries (e.g. OpenGL) and object-oriented languages (e.g. C++ or similar)
  • Ability and willingness to travel across the UK and abroad
  • Full right to work in the UK, with a full driving licence and ability to travel internationally

Desirable Skills & Attributes

  • Previous experience in simulation, training systems, or academic/research environments
  • Familiarity with Merlin's Excalibur or similar flight simulation software
  • Ability to work independently within a small, agile team
  • Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Comfortable balancing engineering, client support, and training responsibilities
