Experteer OverviewIn this role you lead end-to-end delivery and evolution of the Synthetics Product Line, including the Virtual Platform, Synthetic Environment, and Simulation Framework. You'll drive cross-domain interoperability, V&V, and lifecycle processes to support certification, training, and operational analysis. You will translate engineering needs into roadmaps, align teams across partners, and foster digital thread principles to accelerate multi-partner delivery with measurable quality and performance. This is a high-impact position at the GCAP HQ in Reading, shaping how synthetic capabilities enable advanced defense and aerospace programs.BenefitsOwn delivery and continuous improvement of Synthetics products and services (Virtual Platform, Synthetic Environment, Simulation Framework)Provide expertise in modeling and simulation, co-simulation, distributed simulation, and HIL/SIL/MIL integrationTranslate business and engineering needs into roadmaps, plans, and backlogs across lifecycle stagesAdvise on best practices for model development workflows, V&V, data correlation, and governanceDefine, deploy and integrate processes with enterprise systems (Digital Thread, PLM, requirements, data lake)Ensure on-time delivery within scope, budget, and quality targets (fidelity, latency, frame rate)Manage lifecycle changes, upgrades, obsolescence, and platform/toolchain refreshCapture requirements across partners to drive convergence on tools and methodsCommunicate product vision, risks, and progress with clear roadmaps and release notesLead training and enablement to embed standardized processes and ways of workingCoordinate delivery across internal teams, partners, suppliers, and enabling functionsMonitor service performance, model fidelity, risk, and capacity for campaigns and milestonesDrive incident resolution and continuous improvement for throughput and reliabilityBalance short-term delivery with long-term architecture and data strategyEnsure interoperability across tools and simulator hardware for Synthetics activitiesSupport vendor and technology management, contracts, SLAs, and tool evaluationsDrive technology innovation (CI/CD for models, containerization, AI-assisted scenario generation)Advise on integration with simulator hardware providers and system integratorsResponsibilitiesMinimum 5 years in a similar defence or aerospace role with modeling and simulation expertiseDegree in engineering, computer science, or related fieldService Management certification or ITIL experienceProject or Programme Management qualification (e.g., APM, Prince2) or equivalent delivery experienceHands‐on knowledge of synthetics technologies including simulation frameworks, virtual platforms, distributed simulation, and HIL/SIL/MILProven experience delivering M&S solutions in multi‐partner environmentsStrong understanding of engineering processes, data governance, and digital threadExperience working with cross‐functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, IT, quality, system integrators)Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities across domainsStrong delivery mindset with experience in waterfall, agile, or hybrid modelsExcellent communication and stakeholder engagement, with ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences
