Inform system sizing and architecture decisions through modelling and trade studies
Collaborate with engineering teams to create simplified models and support design reviews
Provide data and insights to support both technical and commercial decision-making
Work with customers to manage input data and communicate performance implications
Generate pragmatic, first-principle models for early concept evaluation
Contribute to the development of automated, robust simulation tools and modelling processes
Support validation of performance models in collaboration with R&D, CAE, and Test teams
Assist in developing system-level models (e.g. full-vehicle or aircraft applications)
Document model results and prepare technical reports for specifications and forecastsSkills & Experience
Essential:
BEng, BSc or equivalent in engineering, physics or a related discipline
Strong experience in system-level modelling using tools such as MATLAB
