Modelling and Simulation Engineer

• Modelling and simulation experience in aerospace, including evidence of technical ownership of a workstream
• Experience developing physics-based vehicle models, supported by strong knowledge of rigid-body dynamics, flight mechanics and numerical methods. Experience with missiles, interceptors, rockets or high-speed vehicles is a plus
• Ability to coordinate across aerodynamics, GNC, propulsion, radar, software and test
• Sound software-engineering practices, including configuration management and automated testing. Familiarity with parallel or distributed workflows is a plus
• Experience with model validation and qualification is highly desirable. System identification knowledge is a plus
• Strong MATLAB/Simulink skills. Programming knowledge in Python, C++ or similar for developing simulation and analysis tools is a plus

• Experience in fast-paced R&D or startup environments, with rapid prototype iteration times

• Competitive compensation and stock options
• Private Medical & Dental
• Cycle to work scheme
• Lunchtime catering on site

We are looking for a Modelling and Simulation Engineer to own the integrated vehicle model for a new interceptor. You will define its architecture, build component models, and integrate models from across the engineering team. You will make the simulation trusted, repeatable, and useful from concept design through flight test.

• Own the integrated 6-DoF vehicle model and its technical roadmap
• Define the model architecture, interfaces, fidelity and configuration strategy
• Build models for actuators, sensors, launchers and other vehicle components
• Integrate GNC algorithms and component models supplied by engineering teams
• Correlate models against component, ground and flight-test data
• Provide simulation environments supporting MIL, Monte Carlo analysis, HIL and distributed simulation, including integration with system-of-systems analysis tools

Job Location: Can be considered for Cambridge OR Munich
