You will collaborate with software engineers, UX designers, testers, and product stakeholders in a cross-functional environment.

• Design, develop, and maintain the simulator’s user interface using C++ and Qt.
• Develop Qt applications using QML, Qt Widgets, or both.
• Implement simulation features that accurately reproduce the behavior of real devices and systems.
• Integrate the user-interface layer with simulation engines, back-end services, and system components.
• Improve simulator performance, stability, responsiveness, and usability.
• Collaborate with UX and UI designers to transform mockups and requirements into working interfaces.
• Apply object-oriented design, multithreading, event-driven programming, and software architecture principles.
• Write clean, tested, maintainable, and well-documented code.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to development standards.
• Contribute to unit testing, integration testing, and continuous-integration activities.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues across the application and software stack.
• Document technical designs, implementation decisions, interfaces, and configuration details.
• Follow software-development best practices, quality standards, and secure coding practices.
• Collaborate with Engineering, QA, Product, UX, and other technical stakeholders.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent professional experience may be considered.
• At least 7 years of professional C++ software-development experience .
• Strong hands-on experience with modern C++, including C++11, C++14, C++17, or later.
• Solid professional experience with Qt , including QML, Qt Quick, Qt Widgets, or a combination of these technologies.
• Strong understanding of:
• Object-oriented programming
• Multithreading
• Event-driven programming
• Software architecture
• Interface design and integration
• Experience with Git and modern source-control practices.
• Experience working in Agile or Scrum environments.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication skills in English.
• Ability to work onsite in Brossard 3 days per week.
• Eligibility to work in Canada.

• Simulators
• Emulators
• Hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop tools
• Experience with embedded Linux or real-time systems.
• Experience with Qt Quick Controls and custom QML components.
• Familiarity with CMake, qmake, or similar build systems.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated builds.
• Experience with Qt Test, GoogleTest, or other unit-testing frameworks.
• Background in:
• Fire detection and alarm systems
• Security systems
• HVAC and building automation
• Embedded products
• Experience integrating user interfaces with hardware or simulation engines.

• The simulator provides a stable, responsive, and intuitive experience for Engineering, QA, and Product teams.
• Simulation features accurately reproduce the behavior of real devices and systems.
• The Qt user interface is maintainable, well tested, and consistent with product requirements.
• Software defects are identified and resolved efficiently across the application stack.
• Unit, integration, and continuous-integration practices are consistently applied.
• Technical documentation remains clear, complete, and useful for future development and maintenance.
• Strong collaboration is maintained between software engineering, UX, QA, and product stakeholders.

This is an opportunity to work on a technically challenging product simulator that supports the development and validation of real-world building and safety systems. You will contribute to modern C++ and Qt software while working closely with engineering, UX, QA, and product teams.
