You’ll be working alongside a team of well-developed engineers, where you will:

• Develop and validate high-fidelity models using MATLAB and Simulink.
• Partner with systems teams and other departments to help bring complex simulations to life and ensure all flaws in a design are found well before they reach the real world.
• Use real-life data to tune and refine models to better match the real world.
• Grow under the mentorship of senior engineers, to expand your technical capabilities to prepare you for larger, more challenging projects and long-term career advancement.

• You have a degree-level understanding of dynamic systems and/or mathematical modelling.
• You have had experience with modelling languages or programs before.
• You are familiar with the concepts of version control tools such as EWM or Git, even if you have not used them previously.
• You have good communication skills and are comfortable with discussing complex technical ideas to different stakeholders.

Desirable additional skills:

• Exposure to MATLAB or Simulink
• Familiarity with software lifecycles.
• Positive attitude towards learning and developing new skills
• Enthusiasm with working collaboratively with peers and more experienced engineers.
