Overview
Stirling Dynamics is recruiting for Senior/Principal Modelling and Simulation Contractors. Due to upcoming projects and continued growth, we are looking for experienced Modelling and Simulation Contractors to support a current project within the Marine Business Unit delivering into both commercial and defence environments.
The Simulation, Dynamics and Control capability provides expertise to both internal and external customers in all areas of analysis, particularly relevant for this role: Control, System performance, Equipment modelling, Vehicle dynamics.
Modelling, simulation, dynamics, and control has always been at the core of Stirling Dynamics' capabilities, and we have been at the forefront of developing modelling techniques and model-based design activities for over 30 years.
As a business, we work across a wide variety of projects from significant modifications on civil and military aircraft; development projects for large aerospace OEMs; concepts and feasibility studies for the emerging eVTOL industry; controller actuation development for simulator and flight worthy products; and control and automation covering submarine autopilots and flight control laws.
The successful contractor will be predominantly based in our Bristol office, although they can work remotely part of the time. The contract will initially be for 6 months with options for further work beyond this.
