Fuel your passion

As a Simulation Software Engineer, you will support software development activities through both individual contributions and team‑based assignments. You will apply strong technical and business understanding to deliver high‑quality simulation solutions that support product development and engineering decision‑making.

A key aspect of this role is collaboration with Digital Leaders and internal customers across IET to understand simulation needs, translate business and engineering objectives into technical requirements, and ensure solutions align with enterprise digital strategy. You will work across cross‑functional and cross‑disciplinary teams, to integrate simulation capabilities into broader engineering workflows and digital platforms.

You will apply Systems Engineering methodologies—including requirements definition, system architecture, integration, analysis, configuration management, and risk management—during the product design phase. At this level, you may be recognized as a subject matter expert within your discipline and provide both technical and business mentoring to peers and stakeholders.

The role may also involve direct collaboration with software vendors and external suppliers, supporting tool evaluation, integration, and requirements definition activities during product development, as well as during bids and proposal efforts.

As Simulation Software Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Implementing plans with guidance to meet technical requirements of assigned components and systems.

• Developing action plans with guidance to respond to issues/ problems.

• Assuring proper documentation of technical data generated for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures.

• Programming (in C#, C++, Java, Python, etc.) all applications, components and interfaces.

• Working in main commercial simulation platform (e.g. Ansys, SimCenter, Hysys, Unisim) both as expert user and as coder to build applications on them

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have a Bachelor's Degree in “STEM” Majors (Engineering, Computer Science, Technology, and Math).

• Have a good level experience in software engineering.

• Have a strong theorical and practical background on complex Process simulation theory and apps (e.g. Hysys)

• Have experience in Finite Element Analysis FEM (e.g. Ansys, SimCenter, SAP2000) and, in general, simulation familiarity

• Have Optimization algorithms knowledge and practical experience of optimization software usage (e.g. HEEDS, Optislang, PyMoo, Dakota)

• Have excellent knowledge of at least two of following coding languages (or similar): Python; C; Fortran; Java; C#

• Preferably have basic knowledge of C++, Julia Lang, Web App, DB

• Good knowledge about cyber security

• Fluency in English
