MERITUS Talent are working with one of Europe's largest defence manufacturers for the recruitment of a Senior Simulation and Modelling Engineer to join their Bristol office on a 12 Month contract assignment. The role expects someone to be onsite 5 days a week, although compressed working is available. An SC Clearance is required prior to starting the role, and is paying 75 per hour INSIDE IR35
We're looking for an experienced Simulation & Modelling Engineer to join a high-performing team working on a key programme for our customer. This is a contract opportunity to get involved in a fast-paced project where advanced modelling and simulation sits at the heart of the engineering process.
About the Role
You'll be responsible for developing specific components of performance models that support guided weapon systems throughout their lifecycle - from early feasibility to system validation. You'll also work closely with other technical teams (like Guidance, Navigation & Control, Software, Systems Design & Technical Quality) to integrate and test model components.
Your work will involve:
Designing, implementing and testing model components
Reviewing and documenting your work in line with quality standards
Collaborating with internal teams and engaging with model users to ensure models are fit for purpose
Contributing to key activities such as feasibility studies, trade-off analyses, ground testing, and trial predictions
This is a hands-on role that requires both technical depth and an ability to operate independently within a cross-functional environment.
What You'll Need
We're looking for someone with a strong background in Engineering - ideally with a degree or Master's in Aerospace, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or Maths - and proven experience in simulation and modelling, preferably on aerospace or defence projects.
Key skills and experience:
Proficient with MathWorks tools, especially Simulink, Embedded MATLAB and Stateflow
Confident building simulations from mathematical specifications
Good understanding of modelling processes and working within a quality-driven environment
Familiar with coding standards and development best practice
It would also be great if you have experience with:
Rational Team Concert or similar configuration tools
DOORS or other requirements management systems
Autocode generation from Simulink
Programming in C, FORTRAN or Ada
Interested?
If you're a seasoned Simulation & Modelling Engineer and want to work on a meaningful programme within a collaborative and technically advanced team, we'd love to hear from you.
