Lead Simulation Engineer, Electric Propulsion Systems

Evolito Ltd; Bicester; On-site; GBP 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Evolito Ltd in the United Kingdom is seeking a Principal Technical Specialist - Simulation to lead the development of plant models for electrical and mechanical components within a digital twin approach for electric propulsion systems.

You will drive model-based simulation using MATLAB/Simulink, optimise designs through dynamic and static flight-cycle analyses, and validate models with test data. You will mentor junior engineers and present findings to customers.

Qualifications

• Degree in electrical/mechanical/mechatronics engineering or similar.
• Proven experience solving complex technical problems using simulation modelling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape.
• Excellent understanding of electric drivetrain components (PMSMs, gearboxes, inverters, batteries) and ability to model them.
• Good understanding of control and optimisation theories (PID controllers, data fitting, optimisation algorithms).
• Experience with data analysis and correlation using MATLAB or Python scripts.
• Experience with HIL environments (dSpace, SpeedGoat, etc), desirable.
• Awareness of engineering design process (aerospace preferred).
• Instinctive problem-solving with strong analytical approach.
• Ability to work under pressure with tight deadlines.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development of plant models for electrical and mechanical components in a model-based simulation environment (MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape).
• Optimise design parameters by simulating project requirements across flight cycles and conditions.
• Validate models by designing test methods and analysing data to correlate results.
• Support software verification with MIL and HIL environments.
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and contribute to best practices in model-based simulation, data analysis and automation.
• Generate simulation analysis reports and presentations for progress communication.
• Lead technical discussions with customers and stakeholders.
• Coordinate cross-functional development efforts to ensure project alignment.
• Maintain simulation models and results within Evolito configuration management.
• Contribute to process improvement to boost productivity and quality.
