Simulation Engineer - Hardware-in-the-Loop Location: Hybrid working - typically four days per week on-site About the Role 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. Key Responsibilities 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 What We're Looking For 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 About You 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.
