Modelling and Simulation Engineer

Description:

The role is for a Modelling and Simulation (M&S) Engineer working within the Flight Sciences Future Aircraft Fuel System Team. The successful applicant will be required to work alongside other System Engineers, applying working knowledge of 1-D fluid flow M&S to aid development of fuel systems from the early system concept phase through to detailed design and into aircraft testing across three different aircraft programmes. Typically, this would include use of toolsets such as Mathworks Simscape, Siemens AMESIM or Flomaster.

The role requires an individual with a minimum of 10 years' experience applying M&S to either military or civil aircraft fuel systems however, M&S knowledge applied to products in related sectors will also be considered.

The M&S Engineer will be required to support similar M&S activities being undertaken by other team members, providing them with advice and sharing of 'best practice' as required. Equally, being a team player is important. As such, from time to time, assistance in other areas will be needed. This may include, but not be limited to, development of system qualification plans and model management plans. The team will in turn provide support to the creation of these plans when needed.

Typical responsibilities will include:

Development and maintenance of existing fuel system models but also creation of new models, where required.
Support to the creation of a series of system qualification plans including strategies for validating models using aircraft test data.
Working with the team to share best practice and develop Subject Matter Expert (SME) M&S skills across the team.Essential:

Strong 1-D fluid flow M&S skills using toolsets including AMESIM, Flomaster or Simscape.
Other experience in modelling control algorithms in toolsets such as Mathworks Simulink would be advantageous, but not essential.
Knowledge of Jira and Confluence for monitoring of task progress is also desirable but can be taught if needed
