C

Bristol | £45,000 – £72,500 | Hybrid

If you are a serious Modelling & Simulation Engineer who actually wants to work on meaningful, complex systems, not just tweak models in the corner, then this is worth your attention.

Our client is growing in a big way. They have new projects landing, capability expanding, and a clear need for engineers who can think, challenge, and deliver, not just follow process.

This isn’t theory, it is real engineering.

You will be working across high-impact programmes spanning marine, aerospace, defence, and emerging technology. From flight control systems, vehicle dynamics to submarine autopilots, you will be using and designing real-time models. The kind of work that sharpens your edge, quickly.

What you’ll actually be doing:

  • Building and validating models at system and vehicle level
  • Defining control algorithms and performance requirements
  • Getting hands‑on with MATLAB / Simulink
  • Collaborating with smart engineers who know their craft
  • Presenting your work to clients who expect clarity, not waffle

What you’ll bring:

  • Degree qualified in a related discipline preferably Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Mathematics
  • Strong grounding in modelling, simulation, and systems thinking
  • Experience in Hydro-actuated systems, Electro‑mechanical actuated systems, Multi‑body simulation, and vehicle dynamics
  • Confidence with tools like MATLAB / Simulink and version control
  • The ability to think critically, not just execute tasks

And let’s be clear…

This will suit someone who’s either:

  • Ready to step up into a more senior, broader role
    OR
  • Already operating at Principal level and wants more impact, not more meetings

The Environment

Supportive | technical | genuinely collaborative | hybrid working

No fluff, no gimmicks; just proper engineering work, with people who take pride in doing it well.

You will need to be a British citizen, and eligible for UK security clearance.
