SOC 2133 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and CAE is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3112 (Electrical and electronics technicians, Flight simulator engineer is an index entry for this group) or SOC 2122 (Mechanical engineers, Systems integrator — engineering fits the engineering focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
We are inviting expressions of interest for an Integration Specialist to join our team supporting the delivery, development and continuous improvement of system integrations across our UK based operations within a military environment. This is an exciting role where you will be a key member in the team driving technology and maintenance for the CAE systems on flight simulators – both fixed wing and rotary. Support of multiple sites may be required including, but not limited to, locations such as RAF Valley, RAF Shawbury, RAF Waddington, RNAS Yeovilton, RNAS Culdrose and RAF Cranwell. Some of these visits will be multiple days, so you need to be flexible to travel as well as stay away from home when required.
In the average week you will be involved in the development, integration and test phase of the communication between aircraft simulation software and interface instruments. In addition, you will be involved in update projects and will be the customer and engineer’s main point of contact for software related issues whilst also leading and offering technical support to software engineers during integration of their systems. You will also be required to provide project information (status, risks etc) to upper management.
