Skyral combines AI, leading edge simulation technology and world class expertise to transform the decision making experience. Our products and services enable faster and more confident decisions in a complex, unforgiving world. We deploy practical, intuitive and efficient solutions to governments and enterprises, delivering outstanding outcomes at the speed of relevance. At Omnia Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations under one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world. Omnia Training is redefining the British Army’s collective training capabilities. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. Omnia Training is at the heart of the UK’s bold Land Industrial Strategy. This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering Omnia Training’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training. ## MPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING This role is based full-time onsite in Warminster, Wiltshire. You will be required to work from the Warminster site five days per week. This is not a hybrid or remote role, and we cannot accommodate candidates who are only able to attend the site for part of the working week. Security Clearance (SC) is a mandatory requirement for this role. To be considered, you must have been resident in the UK for the last five years and be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance. If you do not meet this residency requirement, we will not be able to progress your application. Please only apply if you meet both of these requirements: five days per week onsite in Warminster, Wiltshire, and five years’ UK residency for SC clearance. What You’ll Be Responsible For: - Develop and adapt models based on customer-provided data, SME input and training needs. - Implement behavioural logic, effects, interactions, and environmental responses in a way that is both representative and computationally efficient. - Tune models to balance fidelity, performance, and scalability, making pragmatic trade-offs based on how the model will actually be used. - Design models to be reusable and composable, contributing to a broader simulation ecosystem rather than one-off implementations. - Ensure models behave coherently when composed with other models and systems, including handling timing, synchronisation, and interaction consistency. - Integrate models with other simulation components, terrain, and environment systems, and external systems (e.g. via HLA, DIS, APIs). - Working closely with our Simulation Integration Engineers, Simulation Content Engineer, and Quality Assurance Engineer. - Take ownership of a primary modelling area (e.g. capability & effects, human behaviour, environment, or interoperability) while contributing across domains where required. - Mentor and review the work of other modelling engineers to raise the technical bar across the team. - Support iterative improvement based on validation outcomes, exercise feedback, and operational use. Note: Please feel empowered to apply for this position, even if you think you may only align with some of the qualities listed above. Your unique skills and perspectives could be just what we’re looking for. What We Are Looking For: This is not a research modelling role. You will build models that are used in real training systems, where performance, integration, and usability matter as much as correctness. - Strong analytical and systems thinking mindset, with the ability to make architectural decisions when faced with uncertainty. - Experience of working across multiple modelling domains, and able to guide others - Able to set technical direction, define modelling approaches, and mentor less experienced engineers. - Able to realism with practical constraints such as performance, fidelity and scalability. - Curious and willing to challenge assumptions. - Comfortable iterating based on feedback, imperfect data, and evolving requirements.. Key Technical Proficiencies: - Strong programming in high-performance C++ and Python. - Proven track record of designing and delivering  real-time systems and simulation components or engines. - A strong understanding of modelling approaches including: Agent based modelling, Behavioural modelling, CNI modelling and physics/effects modelling. - Highly experienced with model calibration and tuning, representational fidelity and real-time simulation constraints. - Experience working with real-time 3D simulation and visualisation platforms such as Unity and Unreal Engine. - Experience designing models that can be reused and composed as part of a wider system, not built in isolation. - Experience in one or more of the following: military capability modelling, human behaviour modelling, environmental modelling, terrain / GIS systems. - Experience defining modelling architecture and reuse strategy across a programme, not just within a single model. - ## About Skyral Group ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Skyral Group builds advanced modelling, simulation, and AI-powered decision-support systems for enterprise, defence, and national security customers. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) – total funding $20M - **Headquarters**: London, England, United Kingdom - **Founded**: Year not publicly available (company states “over a decade” of history) - **Founders**: Jason Kennedy (CEO), Naomi Hulme (CEO – Skyral Defence & Government), Nick Blair (Executive Chairman) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Defence & National Security, Enterprise Software, AI-Driven Simulation - **Target customers**: Western governments, defence organisations, and large enterprises facing high-stakes, complex decision-making challenges - **Mission**: “Every decision maker can be empowered by technology” – putting people in the ideal position to make the best decisions based on both knowns and unknowns. ## Products & Services - **Decision Support Systems**: AI-fused, simulation-based tools that help users test and refine choices in digital environments before acting in the real world. - **Digital Twins**: Real-time digital representations of complex scenarios (e.g. military operations, unstable markets) for strategy testing and risk mitigation. - **Modelling & Simulation Suite**: Modular, open, and interoperable software that integrates with existing systems; covers data fusion, AI/ML, and scenario modelling. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company) - **Key Metric**: Total funding $20M (Series A led by NOIA Capital, announced July 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: NOIA Capital (lead), plus one prior corporate round investor - **Growth Signals**: Active contracts with Western governments and enterprises; headcount ~50 employees (down ~24% YoY, though company maintains active hiring with 3 open roles); high LinkedIn follower growth (+26.5% YoY); team includes alumni from Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Palantir, elite military units, and Formula 1 ## Competitive Advantages - Deep domain expertise in defence and national security – “we are experts in selling to governments and hold multiple production contracts” - Technology built for security and extensibility – modular, open, interoperable design allows rapid deployment with low disruption - Partnership model rather than vendor – they work as “technology partners” who understand customer challenges first-hand ## Strategic Focus - Continue to expand modelling & simulation footprint across Western governments and allied nations - Apply core technology to commercial enterprise markets (e.g. digital twins for unstable markets) - Build on Series A funding to scale team, product, and customer delivery ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: “Radical and pioneering” company with a focus on mission-driven impact (preservation of security, prosperity, freedom). Diverse, high-calibre team. - **Hybrid/Remote**: Minimum 2 days/week in the central London office; flexible scheduling with manager approval. - **Perks & Benefits**: Unlimited paid holiday; enhanced parental leave (26 weeks full-pay maternity, 4 weeks paternity); private medical & dental insurance; company pension; employee assistance programme; dog-friendly office; company swag. - **Engineering Culture**: Emphasis on problem-solving, innovation through iteration, and working on the “most important mission”.
