#### Job description

The A400M is a versatile European tactical airlifter that bridges the gap between traditional transport aircraft and strategic airlift capabilities. It stands as a symbol of industrial excellence and collaborative defense capability.

Be part of this journey and join our team to shape the future of A400M simulation! We develop advanced simulation software for the A400M programme, ranging from high-fidelity Full Flight Simulators (FFS) for pilot training to advanced test facilities for avionics integration and certification. We support the A400M Military Test and Support Facility (MTSF) by providing simulation models that enable the verification and certification of avionics at software, equipment, and system levels. Our work ensures that aircraft updates are accurately represented in both training and test environments, utilizing a tech stack centered on C/C++.

As a Junior Software Engineer in our MTSF team, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of simulation solutions. You will translate high‑level operational and system requirements from a variety of stakeholders into robust simulation models, design and define the necessary simulation interfaces, develop and test complex models, and drive the successful release and deployment of those models. Throughout the process you will guarantee high‑quality delivery and provide support during customer‑acceptance activities.
