We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer with proven ability using Simulink to work on the Dreadnought submarine programme to develop the functional design of the Active Vehicle Control System (AVCS), the system used to drive and manoeuvre the boat. The work uses Model Based Systems Engineering MBSE techniques at scale on what is a safety critical system.
We currently have a vacancy for a Simulink Engineer within the Mission Systems discipline to be based at one of our UK sites either in the Warton Lancashire, Brough East Yorkshire or Bristol offices.
As a Simulink Engineer, you will be responsible for the functional design and development of:
- Human Machine Interface & Situational Awareness systems (HMI&SA)
- System Health and Data Management systems
This will be working in one of the delivery work stream teams as part of the AVC Functional Software organisation. You will be involved in aspects of the concept, requirements definition, detailed design and development to delivery. Hybrid working arrangements are available.
The Dreadnought AVC programme operates a ‘One Team’ construct with partners in other sections of the organisation.
The successful candidate will be expected to have some knowledge across the Engineering Lifecycle with knowledge of Mission Systems (primarily Displays and Controls and/or Monitoring and Recording). Knowledge of Functional Architecting in those areas would be beneficial. Flight or Marine Systems knowledge would also be beneficial, along with an appreciation of software
development and modelling & simulation. Additionally, the candidate should have an openness to learning new skills, concepts and approaches to developing MBSE products and have excellent communication skills. The project represents a significant opportunity for personal development in a high profile product delivery team especially in the area of modelling and simulation, as well as systems engineering skills.
Your main responsibilities as a Simulink Engineer will involve:
Model Based Design (MBD) development and integration of the System, including interfacing with the Control & Instrumentation (C&I), Platform Mechanical and Software work streams. In this role the jobholder shall be responsible for some or all of the following:

- Knowledge in Display & Controls, Systems Health and Data management related Systems Engineering, preferably in a marine or aerospace application, or in a similar
- engineering or technology focussed industry.
- Competence in Mathworks tools to apply Model-based systems engineering principles, tools and techniques (primarily Simulink and its Test).
- Capable in Microsoft Office packages and an ability to develop competence with more specialist toolsets as necessary.
- Ability to apply previous learning and experience to offer guidance, support and coaching to others.
- Ability to effectively research system design data and apply to complex problems.
- Excellent communication skills to support interfaces across a number of delivery work stream.
