Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The opportunity
As a Simulation and Modelling Engineer, you will be a key part of MBDA's development process, helping to develop the models that are critical to ensuring our products perform perfectly from their initial development to field deployment. We work closely with other teams and partners to integrate their models into ours, and running them through numerous test suites to ensure they are suitable for use in further development.
You'll be working alongside a team of well-developed engineers, where you will:
- Develop and validate high-fidelity models using MATLAB and Simulink.
- Partner with systems teams and other departments to help bring complex simulations to life and ensure all flaws in a design are found well before they reach the real world.
- Use real-life data to tune and refine models to better match the real world.
- Grow under the mentorship of senior engineers, to expand your technical capabilities to prepare you for larger, more challenging projects and long-term career advancement.
What we're looking for
We are ideally looking for a candidate with a curious mind and a strong foundation in engineering skills. You would be an ideal fit if:
- You have a degree-level understanding of dynamic systems and/or mathematical modelling.
- You have had experience with modelling languages or programs before.
- You are familiar with the concepts of version control tools such as EWM or Git, even if you have not used them previously.
- You have good communication skills and are comfortable with discussing complex technical ideas to different stakeholders.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Desirable additional skills
- Exposure to MATLAB or Simulink
- Familiarity with software lifecycles.
- Positive attitude towards learning and developing new skills
- Enthusiasm with working collaboratively with peers and more experienced engineers.
