Mechatronics & Systems Engineering (Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation Systems Engineer)
Security clearance required – Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be a British or dual British citizen with the ability to obtain a security clearance.
Are you a hands-on engineer?
Do you have a passion for complex engineering systems, real-time simulation, and problem-solving? If so, we’re looking for a talented Simulation Systems Engineer to join our innovative team and maintain one of the UK’s most advanced Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test environments.
This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of engineering, delivering sophisticated simulation capabilities that enable safe, controlled testing of complex systems.
This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who love:
✔ Combining mechanical, electrical, and control system knowledge ✔ Practical fault finding and continuous improvement ✔ Working with advanced simulation and testing technologies
What you’ll be doing
- Supporting and maintaining advanced Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation facilities
- Performing planned preventative maintenance and reactive fault diagnosis
- Working on multi-axis hydraulic motion systems and precision positioning equipment
- Troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and control system issues
- Reading and interpreting mechanical and electrical engineering drawings
- Supporting upgrades and continuous improvement projects
- Ensuring simulation systems remain reliable, accurate, and available for critical engineering programmes
- Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams
