Job Description

About the Project:


We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Developer for a specialized, customer-funded project with an innovative engineering and technology business.


The company utilizes a sophisticated, internally built simulation environment for all internal testing, which is also distributed to select clients. A major customer operating within a Linux environment has requested this tooling be built for their specific platform.


Your mission for this contract is to take the reins and successfully deliver this Linux port.


The Work


  • You will be responsible for porting the existing Windows-based simulation environment across to Linux.
  • Navigate a Blended Codebase: The codebase originated in older C++ and C#, but is now predominantly modern C# on .NET 10 (which runs natively on Linux).
  • Hardware Emulation: Focus extensively on hardware emulators built in C#—this is the core component of the work. These emulators run embedded code directly from the company's control systems.
  • Compile Patterns: Adapt and port an existing pattern used for compiling from Windows into Linux.


Experience Required


  • Core Tech Stack: Deep expertise in C# and .NET, with a strong focus on modern .NET environments.
  • OS & Porting: Proven Linux experience, ideally with a strong background in cross-platform development or direct porting projects.
  • Software Development: Solid experience in desktop application development.
  • Code Flexibility: Completely comfortable working across both legacy and modern code within a single, complex codebase.


Nice to Have


  • C++ experience alongside C# is the ideal mix, though deep C# expertise remains the top priority.
  • Previous exposure to embedded software or control systems.
  • A background in simulation, emulation, or test tooling.
