Cruden develops human-in-the-loop simulators for training and R&D purposes. Our products enable Formula 1 teams to design faster cars and coastguards to train effectively for saving people from the next big storm. Our simulators are key tools in the development process of future cars and are used for scientific research into safe and comfortable autonomous transport.
We are looking for a Software Developer / System Engineer who is passionate about innovative and creative technical solutions. The role is broad; you will often be involved in a project from start to finish.
● Panthera Framework: Development and maintenance of our simulation framework, including motion hardware controllers, control hardware (steering wheels, displays, navigation), diagnostic tooling, gameplay and lap timing systems.
● Graphics & Audio: Implementation of graphics and audio rendering.
● Hardware integration: Supporting new hardware by extending C++ applications or creating new applications based on the Panthera SDK.
● Gameplay development: Developing and adapting gameplay in C++ applications.
● Simulation installations: Complete setup and configuration of simulation installations (mainly software) for entertainment and professional motorsport and marine simulators.
● Support & Maintenance: Supporting on-site simulators with software updates and troubleshooting.
● Travel: Occasional travel to installations for setup and support.
● Interface electronics: Occasional work on interface electronics.
You are curious, eager to learn, and enjoy solving complex technical challenges in creative ways. You don't need to know everything yet: we give you room to keep developing yourself. With your programming knowledge and resourcefulness, you quickly get to grips with new applications, frameworks and simulation environments.

● Knowledge of version control (Git, Fork or similar systems).
● Affinity with vehicle dynamics (cars, boats).
● Experience with Unity, Unreal or other game engines.
● Experience with real-time platforms with Simulink support (Speedgoat, dSPACE).
● Knowledge of CAN bus and network architectures.
● A challenging position in a creative, technical environment.
● Opportunities to develop further in C++, Unity and vehicle simulation.
● Plenty of room for your own initiative and personal growth.
● An informal atmosphere with knowledgeable, enthusiastic colleagues.
● Inspiring work on innovative simulation technology.
