Simulation Engineer - Hardware In The Loop

Simulation Engineer - Hardware-in-the-Loop

Location: Hybrid working - typically four days per week on-site

We are seeking an analytical and innovative Simulation Engineer to join our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) team. This role involves designing, developing, and running advanced, closed-loop simulations that integrate real hardware with virtual environments to validate and improve complex systems.

Working in a cutting-edge test facility, you will create high-fidelity simulations to replicate operational scenarios, enabling performance testing, system validation, and trial preparation.

• Design and develop real-time simulations for system performance testing

• Abstract complex technical detail to understand system behaviours

• Develop software plug-ins to support and enhance simulation capability

• Work within Linux environments and program in C/C++

• Integrate hardware and software systems, troubleshoot interfaces, and optimise performance

• Analyse performance results and produce clear technical reports

We welcome applicants with broad engineering experience and an interest in real-time systems. Skills in the following areas would be advantageous:

• Real-time software design

• Linux operating systems

• C/C++ programming

• Systems integration and debugging

• Performance analysis of complex systems

You enjoy solving complex engineering problems, have strong analytical skills, and are comfortable working with both software and hardware. You thrive in a collaborative environment and are eager to contribute to projects with real-world impact.
