Principal Simulation and Modeling Engineer
Principal Simulation & Modelling Engineer
We’re looking for a Senior Simulation & Modelling Engineer to join a high-performing team working on some of the most exciting surface-launched air defence and future systems projects in the UK. If you’re an experienced engineer, physicist, or mathematician with a passion for modelling complex systems and building quality code, this could be the role for you.
As a Senior Simulation & Modelling Engineer, you’ll be at the forefront of developing and integrating dynamic numerical models (mainly in MATLAB and Simulink) to simulate real-world weapon systems. These simulations play a key role in everything from concept and assessment to in-service support, helping our teams and customers understand system performance from start to finish.
Day to day, as a Senior Simulation & Modelling Engineer, you will:
Develop, integrate, and validate dynamic simulation models
Work closely with system designers, control engineers, and software developers
Automate test and verification processes and support continuous integration
Help ensure model quality through peer reviews and configuration management
Integrate external models (FMUs, C++, third-party software) into our environments
Present your work and collaborate with internal and external partners
To secure this Senior Simulation and Modelling Engineer role you will have:
Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB and Simulink (or similar modelling tools)
Good understanding of dynamic systems and numerical modelling
Experience with automated testing, version control (Git, EWM), and model documentation
Comfortable working in a model-based design environment, with solid coding standards
Experience integrating external code or models into simulation environments
Familiarity with automated C/C++ code from Simulink
Agile/Scrum/Kanban experience is a bonus
This is a great opportunity to advance your modelling career, working on real-world tech that plays a major role in defence.
