Engineering Delivery Manager

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Delivery Manager with a strong background in software development, integration, and delivery to take charge of complex work packages for next-generation flight simulators.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of flight simulation, leading multidisciplinary teams and ensuring that advanced software-driven systems are delivered on time, to specification, and in compliance with aerospace standards.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, have proven success managing technical software projects, and are passionate about shaping the future of aerospace training, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Lead cross-functional engineering teams with a strong emphasis on software development, testing, and integration.

Take full ownership of software-related work packages, ensuring delivery against scope, budget, and timelines.

Oversee the delivery of software components for flight simulators, ensuring seamless integration with hardware and systems.

Implement robust technical governance frameworks to ensure compliance with aerospace software standards.

Drive risk management throughout the software development lifecycle, mitigating issues before they impact delivery.

Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external customers to align on requirements, milestones, and deliverables.

Provide regular reporting on software progress, risks, and key technical decisions.

Support process improvements to strengthen software delivery capability across engineering teams.

What We’re Looking For

Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace, or a related discipline.

Proven experience as a Work Package Owner, Delivery Manager, Programme Manager, or Technical Lead within software-heavy aerospace or simulation projects.

Strong understanding of software engineering lifecycles, including development, verification, validation, and integration.

Knowledge of aerospace software standards (e.g., DO-178C or similar) highly desirable.

Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams with a significant software engineering focus.

Excellent project management, technical governance, and stakeholder engagement skills.

Background in flight simulation, avionics, or complex aerospace software systems is highly advantageous.
