Job description

Senior System Modelling Engineer – Whiteley, Fareham, Hampshire (Hybrid Working)

Location: Whiteley, Fareham, Hampshire. Working pattern: Hybrid (flexible mix of on‑site and remote working).

My client is the European headquarters of a high‑growth, high‑innovation semiconductor company. They are seeking a talented, ambitious engineer to join their expanding Research team, working on cutting‑edge touch and human‑machine interface (HMI) technologies in a modern, fast‑paced environment.

About the Senior System Modelling Engineer Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a hands‑on engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of system modelling, hardware experimentation, and algorithm development. You will play a key role in shaping future HMI technologies, taking concepts from simulation through to real‑world hardware validation. The role is based in Whiteley but offers hybrid working, allowing flexibility between on‑site and remote work. You will collaborate closely with system architects, IC design teams, firmware engineers, and system validation teams to ensure a smooth and consistent modelling‑to‑hardware workflow.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the research, development, and definition of mixed‑signal front‑end components using simulations or prototypes.
• Perform high‑level system modelling, analysis, and simulations.
• Implement, integrate, and validate algorithms.
• Support the development of new touch detection schemes aligned with the technology roadmap.
• Evolve and improve existing algorithms to meet project and business needs.
• Work with stakeholders to define problem statements and research objectives.

Skills & Experience (Essential)

• Proven experience in high‑level modelling and simulation of complex systems.
• Strong knowledge of Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
• Solid understanding of ASIC design and mixed‑signal systems.
• Proficient with version control systems (e.g., Git, Subversion) and familiar with Agile methodologies.
• Proactive, curious, collaborative, with a passion for knowledge sharing.
• Proficient in MATLAB, Simulink, Python (at least two).
• Willingness to travel for collaborative research or project work.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in electronics engineering or signal processing‑related subjects.
• BEng or MEng in Engineering, Electronics, or related subjects (upper second class or equivalent).
• Extensive post‑graduate engineering experience.

Desirable

• Knowledge of SPICE, HDL, Verilog, or FPGA.
• Experience with physics modelling tools such as Ansys / HFSS.
• Previous HMI or display industry experience.

What You Can Expect

My client offers:

• Real impact: Your contributions directly influence product innovation.
• Career growth: Opportunities to develop your skills in a challenging, supportive environment.
• Balanced culture: Flexible, enjoyable workplace with a focus on wellbeing.
• Hybrid working & modern offices: Based in Whiteley with flexibility to work remotely.

Benefits

• Annual bonus based on performance.
• 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays (buy/sell holiday option).
• Pension scheme.
• Private medical and dental insurance.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Electric car scheme.

Health & Wellbeing Support
