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 generation 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 national defence.

If you are interested please apply ASAP. The People Network is an employment agency and will respond to all applicants within three - five working days. If you do not hear within these timescales please feel free to get in touch.
