Are you an experienced Control Systems Engineer looking to work on some of the UK's most technically challenging engineering programmes?
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a highly skilled engineering team developing advanced control systems within a cutting-edge research and development environment. You'll be working on complex projects from concept through to integration, validation and testing, helping to solve real-world engineering challenges that demand innovation, technical excellence and systems thinking.
Working alongside multidisciplinary teams, you'll play a key role in defining system architectures, developing sophisticated control strategies and ensuring solutions deliver exceptional performance, reliability and robustness.
What you will be doing
- Designing and developing advanced closed-loop control systems.
- Defining system and subsystem architectures covering sensing, actuation, software and power elements.
- Applying control theory and system dynamics to model, analyse and optimise system performance.
- Producing technical solutions that balance customer requirements, cost, schedule and technical constraints.
- Supporting system integration, verification, validation and testing activities.
- Analysing test results and driving continuous improvement throughout the development lifecycle.
- Working closely with engineers across multiple disciplines on highly innovative projects.
What we are looking for
- Degree qualified in Control Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
- Strong understanding of control theory, system dynamics and mathematical modelling.
- Experience developing control strategies and analysing system stability and performance.
- Good knowledge of systems engineering principles.
- Experience working with both Windows and Linux environments.
- Excellent communication, presentation and technical report writing skills.
- A collaborative approach with the ability to engage confidently with customers and senior stakeholders.
- Previous experience working within secure or highly regulated engineering environments would be advantageous.
What's on offer
- Salary of £51,000 - £64,000, 4-day working week (Monday to Thursday), flexible working arrangements, the opportunity to work on technically complex, nationally significant engineering programmes, excellent career development and progression opportunities, a collaborative environment where innovation is encouraged and engineering excellence is valued.
