Take a leading role in modelling and simulation with a position that blends hands-on technical delivery with visible technical leadership. At this company, modelling and simulation sits at the heart of complex engineering work, from aircraft systems and flight control laws through to submarine autopilots and next-generation platforms. You will get autonomy to shape approaches, define verification strategies, and help develop the next generation of engineers, all within a smaller, highly capable team where your input genuinely moves projects forward. Due to security clearance, you must be a UK national to apply for this role.
What You Will Do:
- Lead the development of system and vehicle-level models, including plant and control algorithms.
- Define modelling approaches, requirements, and verification strategies to drive confidence in outputs.
- Own delivery of technical activities or work packages end-to-end, from planning through to presentation.
- Present results and technical outputs clearly to internal and external stakeholders.
- Support and mentor junior engineers, helping bring structure and clarity to complex problems.
- Contribute to planning, task definition, and delivery prioritisation to keep momentum and deadlines on track.
What You Will Bring:
- Strong experience with Matlab and Simulink-based modelling and simulation, with the ability to model complex dynamic systems.
- Understanding of control systems, system performance modelling, and vehicle dynamics, alongside multi-domain simulation exposure.
- Demonstrable experience with advanced control techniques such as Kalman filtering and state estimation.
- Exposure to real-time modelling or code generation using Matlab, including auto coding and C/C++ where relevant.
This role directly supports a mission focused on operational excellence, future-proofing and delivering high-quality engineering solutions across demanding sectors. With global engineering capability and a strong emphasis on integrity, diversity of thought, and responsible delivery, this company brings together aerospace and marine expertise to fast-track innovation through each step of the engineering value chain. Your work will help ensure projects progress with clarity, technical rigour and confident decision-making.
Location: This role is based in the UK, supporting work across complex engineering programmes with a strong engineering community.
If the idea of owning modelling approaches, leading verification strategy, and mentoring engineers excites you, apply now for this opportunity and take the next step in shaping high-impact engineering solutions.
