You will have an opportunity to develop our in-house countermeasure simulation software tool, CounterWorX, modelling physical interactions and phenomena across dynamic simulations. This opportunity will also expose you to working with our software development team, and the assurance process all releasable software products must follow. The team are based across two MASS sites (head office, Enterprise House, in Little Paxton, and our modern Lincoln offices on Teal Park).When project classifications allow, they tend to work three days in the office and two days from home, giving you the best of both worlds: flexibility and collaboration.
