This is a hands-on role where your technical skills will directly impact real-world, mission-critical systems.

How You'll Contribute

As a Simulation & Modelling Engineer, you'll collaborate with system designers, software developers, and control engineers to build high-performance models that support every phase of the product lifecycle - from concept to deployment.

Your key responsibilities:

  • Modelling & Integration
    Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink models, integrating external code (C/C++, FMUs, S-functions).
  • Automation & Quality
    Automate testing and verification workflows, lead peer reviews, and maintain high-quality technical documentation.
  • System Support & Improvement
    Support integration, performance assessment, configuration management, and continuous process improvements.

    • What You'll Bring

  • Technical Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink, dynamic system modelling, and model-based design.
  • Tooling & Integration: Skilled in scripting (MATLAB, GitLab, Jenkins), integrating third-party code (C/C++, FMUs), and using version control (Git, EWM).
  • Ways of Working: Exposure to Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

    • Nice to Have (But Not Essential)

  • Experience with automated code generation from Simulink models
  • Comfortable working across cross-functional and international teams
