Bristol Area – Attractive – Marine and Defence

Multiple Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers are required within an Advanced Aerospace, Marine and Defence Services Organisation. The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers will be experienced engineers working on technical projects while shaping the future of engineering.

The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers role will suit an engineer looking to diversify or develop their experience and work within a team responsible for producing models at vehicle and system level representing plant and control algorithms.

The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers will use the MathWorks tool-set including Simulink and associated toolboxes, and a good understanding of the use of version control software (e.g. GIT) and task management tool-sets as part of collaborative working is required.

The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers are expected to have industrial engineering experience, using modelling for the development and analysis of complex systems. The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers will have the following responsibilities (depending on experience): Control Systems, System performance, Equipment and Systems Modelling and or Vehicle Dynamics.

Flexible working May be available with a hybrid working model for part of the week.

The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers will be required to:

Develop task definition (together with the technical lead)
Define model and control algorithm requirements
Build evaluate and test of systems models
Peer review of systems models
Preparation and presentation of results, systems models, etc for customers
Formal verification and validation of systems procedures
Authoring systems model and technical documentation
The Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers Skills, Qualifications, and Experience:

Candidates will be degree qualified (or equivalent), in a related discipline preferably Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Mathematics.
Must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of fundamental modelling principles.
Must have knowledge of Matlab/Simulink, Actuated Systems, Electro-Mechanical Systems, Multi-Body Simulation, Vehicle Dynamics, and Systems Engineering.
Other desired skills and Experience with are: Marine Sector, Real Time Models, Code Generation, C/C++, Professional Attitude with Strong Time Management and Organisational Skills
Demand for this role will undoubtedly be high, and interviews will be arranged very soon and to be considered, please apply today. If you have any questions about the Simulation, Modelling and Control Engineers, then contact: Peter Heap at Jonathan Lee Recruitment on (phone number removed) or

** Security Clearance and UK Nationals only for this role due to the nature of systems involved**

Your CV will be forwarded to Jonathan Lee Recruitment, a leading engineering and manufacturing recruitment consultancy established in 1978. The services advertised by Jonathan Lee Recruitment are those of an Employment Agency.

In order for your CV to be processed effectively, please ensure your name, email address, phone number and location (post code OR town OR county, as a minimum) are included

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
