Senior Modelling and Simulation Engineer

This position is part of Williams Grand Prix Technologies, a Williams Group company.

We are seeking a Senior Modelling and Simulation Engineer with a specialisation in multi-physics systems engineering. This role involves leading the development of advanced system models that span mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid dynamics domains. You will leverage cutting-edge simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, Dymola, and JuliaHub to create high-fidelity models and run simulations to solve complex engineering challenges across a range of industries. 

This position requires expertise in co-simulation techniques, where multiple physical domains are integrated to achieve system-level optimization. As a senior engineer, you will guide technical projects from inception to completion, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive innovation and streamline workflows. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Develop, refine, and validate multi-physics models to accurately represent complex systems, encompassing domains such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid dynamics. 

• Utilise advanced modelling tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, Dymola, and JuliaHub to create, simulate, and optimize high-fidelity physical models. 

• Lead the implementation of co-simulation strategies, integrating multiple simulation tools to conduct holistic system-level analyses. 

• Automate and optimise simulation workflows to accelerate model development and integration with parametric CAD models, and streamline the design process. 

• Leverage both on-premise high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud computing resources to enhance simulation efficiency, ensuring accurate results within reduced timeframes. 

• Lead technical projects, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality outcomes, while also mentoring and guiding junior engineers in the team. 

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate simulation results into broader engineering workflows, contributing to system design optimization and innovation. 

• Maintain a high standard of engineering best practices, continuously seeking improvements and fostering their adoption within the team. 

About You:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with an emphasis on multi-physics simulation and systems engineering; PhD preferred. 

• Extensive experience in multi-physics systems engineering, including hands-on expertise in: 

  • Advanced modelling tools such as JuliaHub, MATLAB, Simulink, Dymola, and similar platforms for complex system simulations. 

  • Co-simulation frameworks, integrating various simulation tools and methods to solve multi-domain problems. 

  • Building models from scratch, including geometry preparation, parameterization, and post-processing. 

  • Systems engineering principles that span mechanical, thermal, electrical, and fluid domains. 

  • Automation of simulation workflows, integrating parametric CAD with co-simulation frameworks for faster and more efficient optimizations. 

• Proficiency in Python and/or Java is highly desirable, especially for scripting and workflow automation. 

• Experience in data science and machine learning approaches and modelling with integration to Scientific Machine Learning. 

• Expertise in model validation and correlating simulation data with real-world experimental results. 

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify issues, analyse root causes, and implement effective solutions. 

• Passion for mentoring and coaching junior engineers, helping to build a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
