Our Vision - to be a global systems innovator. Our Purpose - To make our world safe and secure.
As a Modelling & Simulation (M&S) Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and applying simulation capabilities to support decision-making for the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). You will develop simulation models, scenarios and analytical capabilities that underpin experimentation, capability assessment and future force development.
You will combine modelling and simulation expertise with software engineering skills to represent complex systems and behaviours, integrate simulation capabilities and generate evidence to support defence decision-making. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team alongside M&S, software, data and defence domain specialists
At Nova Systems, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team that values innovation, trust, and collaboration. We offer a supportive environment for learning and development, backed by our professional development allowance, mentoring, and opportunities to work on impactful UK and global defence projects.
We support any client/onsite workdays with travel expenses and accommodation when required, this supports you being based anywhere in the UK if you are happy to commute for those days where the team collaborates onsite. This is typically 2-3 days a week with the rest being home or office based. We do try our best to ensure we can be as flexible as possible and offer work from home options to balance the days, however due to the sensitive nature of some of our projects, then onsite is necessary. The client site is located at Cody Technology Park, Farnborough, Hampshire, which is where the work will be based.
