About the role

Simulation Engineer to build and maintain high-fidelity modelling and simulation environments for aerospace/defense platforms, evaluate performance across conditions, validate against real data, and support design trade studies and test campaigns.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments, 6-DOF vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, structural, and/or engagement-level models
  • Develop Monte Carlo and sensitivity analysis capability to explore performance across real conditions
  • Collaborate with GNC, mechanical, and systems engineers to define modelling needs and fidelity
  • Validate models against real test and flight data and assess model credibility
  • Support design trade studies across vehicle, aerodynamics, control, engagement geometry, and structural loading
  • Build tooling and infrastructure to make simulation faster and accessible across engineering teams
  • Support flight and ground test campaigns by defining instrumentation and measurement for data to validate or correct models
  • Communicate simulation results and limitations clearly to engineers and decision-makers

Qualifications

  • Built and maintained simulation environments for real physical systems (aerospace, automotive, robotics, or similar)
  • Understanding of flight dynamics, aerodynamics, structures, or controls
  • Strong programming/scientific computing skills (Python, MATLAB/Simulink, C++, or equivalent)
  • Experience validating simulation output against real test/field data
  • Comfort with uncertainty, Monte Carlo methods, sensitivity analysis, and probabilistic results
  • Ability to collaborate across disciplines and explain results to non-simulation specialists
