Senior / Principal Modelling & Simulation Engineer

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.

If that sounds like your kind of role, then please get in touch.

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