Descrizione del lavoro

Hypersonica is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for Mission Planning to help build Europe’s hypersonic capability. You’ll work on translating hardware specs into mission planning software, enabling operators to plan, simulate, and deploy mission packages to hardware, while collaborating with UX to deliver fast, visual planning experiences.

5+ years in simulation/real-time software with strong C++ or Rust, and experience in simulation architecture is required.

Competenze

• 5+ years of experience building simulation, planning, or real-time interactive software.
• Background in Aerospace, robotics, automotive, or gaming is a plus.
• Strong proficiency in C++ or Rust and numerical methods.

Mansioni

• Translate hardware specs into mission planning software for planning, simulating, and deploying packages.
• Collaborate with UX to build fast, visual, and interactive planning experiences.
• Design and build the mission planning backend: plan generation, configuration, scenario planning, resources.
• Develop SITL mission simulation environment for realistic testing against battlefield scenarios.
• Create test harness and CI automation to validate end-to-end product changes.
• Lead the core data model and message schemas for deployment to real-world launch systems.

Job Description

Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability

At Hypersonica, we're redefining what's possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.

By joining Hypersonica, you're not stepping into a predefined role. You're joining a talent-dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.

We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you've achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn't fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe's technological independence.

What you'll do

• Work with our hardware engineering teams to translate the technical specifications and capabilities of our hardware into mission planning software, enabling operators to plan, simulate and deploy mission packages to our hardware.
• Work with our UX team to build world class user experiences: planning that feels fast, visual and interactive. You build the real-time engine and services that make this possible.
• Design and build the mission planning backend: plan generation, configuration, scenario planning and resource availability.
• Build our software-in-the-loop (SITL) mission simulation environment: allowing scenarios to be realistically tested against battlefield environments before a missile has left the launcher.
• Build the test harness and automation that run the product end to end against the simulation in CI, on every change.
• Lead the design of the core data model and message schemas, working with our integration engineer to deploy authorized mission plans to real-world launch systems.

Who you are

• A software engineer with 5+ years' experience building simulation, planning, decision support or real-time interactive software. You may come from an Aerospace, robotics, automotive, or gaming background.
• Strong in modern C++ or Rust. A good grasp of numerical methods and floating-point behavior.
• Experienced with simulation architecture: time-stepped or discrete-event simulation, software-in-the-loop, scenario management, deterministic replay.
