Overview
Stirling Dynamics is recruiting Engineers to join our Modelling and Simulation training programme before supporting the wider Modelling and Simulation team working on live projects.
Due to expanding project needs, Stirling Dynamics are looking for multiple talented engineers who are looking for new opportunities to develop and grow their skills towards a career in Modelling and Simulation. Modelling and Simulation 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.
The successful candidates will be put on an internally run training programme, teaching them the technical skills they need for the role, before working on live projects within the marine industry. This is an exciting opportunity for candidates with an interest in modelling and simulation, allowing them to work within a team responsible for the development of complex control algorithms and vehicle and system plant models for next generation marine and aerospace applications.
The ideal candidate would be a recent graduate or someone who has a few years of engineering experience, but would like to change career path towards modelling and simulation. They will have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work and collaborate within a team of engineers.
Due to the nature of the projects that we are involved in, candidates must be UK citizens and eligible to obtain UK security clearance (SC).
This role will be predominantly based in our Bristol office with occasional travel to our clients’ sites as required. As part of our commitment to flexibility, employees can work part of the week from home.
Responsibilities
The initial training will focus on mathematical modelling of physical systems, such as:
* Hydraulic modelling
* Transfer function/state-space representations
* Modelling process
* Design requirement development
* Trade studies
The training will also focus on control theory, such as:
* Phase/Gain margin
* Bode plots
* System stability
* PID tuning
* Control architectures
The role will initially be focused on marine projects but there may be opportunities to work across our other business areas in the future. There will be opportunities to work across all stages of the design cycle from concept phase through to in service queries with root cause analysis and problem solving, giving the candidate a broad range of experience to support them in the development of their career. The candidates will broaden their wider engineering skills by working in multi-disciplinary teams, engaging with customers, and helping contribute to the internal modelling techniques and processes.
Candidates will have the following responsibilities:
* Work with the technical lead, developing, and adapting models representing the system under investigation
* Carry out modelling analyses
* Author technical documentation, including model description documents and analysis reports
Qualifications
Candidates will ideally be degree qualified (or equivalent), in a related discipline preferably Mathematics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a similar course with high numeracy content.
Essential skills
The personal qualities of the candidates will be key to success in this role, candidates must be able to identify with the characteristics and qualities detailed below:
* Confidentiality
* Flexible, can-do approach
* Ability to deal with multiple conflicting requests
* Professional attitude
* Self-motivated to see tasks through to successful completion
Experience
Training will be provided but experience in any of the following is beneficial:
* Matlab/Simulink
* Hydro-actuated systems
* Electro-mechanical actuated systems
* Multi-body simulation
* Vehicle dynamics
* Systems engineering
* Control Theory
* Code development
Benefits
Why join us?
Comprehensive Training: Get hands-on experience in various engineering disciplines.
Career Growth: Build a strong foundation for a thriving career in engineering.
Supportive Community: Be part of a team that values your development and success.
Salary of £32,000 - £35,000 depending on experience.
We offer a range of benefits to our employees to recognise their efforts. Playing hard is equally as important as working hard, so regular events are held throughout the year which provide an ideal opportunity to mix socially.
