£35,000 - £50,000 + Bonus

My client is a market leading and world renowned Aerospace / Defence Engineering company and they are currently looking to recruit a Principal Simulation and Modelling Engineer. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company that is known to be one of the best employers within the industry.
All applicants must be willing to undergo a UK security clearance application and must be aware of the criteria involved.

Simulation and Modelling is central to the design and development of complex Aerospace products. Models are developed for many purposes throughout the lifecycle of the product and these are at the core of the System Engineering process:

* Models to support initial feasibility and concept proving studies
* Models to support design development and trade-off studies
* Models to support ground testing including Hardware in the Loop testing
* Models to support trials programmes, including trials predictions used as part of the fit-to-fire decision and post-trials analysis for detailed trials evaluation
* Full system reference models used to produce formal performance statements to support the certificate of design and design verification processes for the guided weapon system
The Simulation and Modelling team is responsible for the development of these models.

As a Senior Engineering Practitioner you will be responsible for development of specific aspects of the performance model used to support a key programme. You will also be responsible for integration of components from within the team and from other project areas.
* You will be responsible for their design, implementation, test, reviews and supporting documentation as well as maintaining appropriate design records, ensuring compliance with appropriate quality standards
* You will be highly autonomous and will be able to act as a point of contact for Simulation and Modellings interactions with the other project teams.
* You will perform technical analyses and investigations into a full range of issues and problems and prepare and develop solutions either individually or as a member of a project team.
* You will engage with the model users, understand and respond to their needs and ensure that the model is fit for its intended use.

Required / Desired Skills
* An appropriate good Engineering Degree or Masters e.g. Systems or Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics
* A proven track record in the following:
* Simulation & Modelling - preferably on Aerospace projects
* The MathWorks products - specifically Simulink, Embedded MATLAB and Stateflow
* Ability to produce a computer simulation (Simulink model) from a mathematical specification
* A keen understanding of the modelling process and working within a quality process
* Ideally will have knowledge and experience of the following:
* Dimensions
* DOORS
* C, FORTRAN and Ada


This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of one of the most forward thinking companies in the UK and to further develop your skills.
