Exciting Opportunity: Technical Manager - Simulation and Control
Are you ready to lead cutting-edge technical projects while shaping the future of engineering? As part of our exciting period of growth, we're restructuring the engineering department to support ambitious goals, and we're looking for a dynamic
Technical Engineering Manager
to head our
Simulation and Control
capability. This is more than a managerial role - it's a unique opportunity to blend hands-on technical work with high-level leadership.
Why You Should Join Us:
As a key player in our
senior management team , you'll be at the forefront of developing and managing simulation and control capabilities across a wide range of exciting industries, including
Aerospace ,
eVTOL ,
Marine , and
Cockpit Controls . You'll work alongside other engineering leaders, ensuring we have the right technical skills, methods and processes in place to drive forward a wide range of innovative projects.
The Simulation and Control group provides mathematical modelling and analysis across many technical areas, including: Hydromechanical system modelling Electro-mechanical equipment modelling Multi-body simulation Servo/motor control Vehicle level control (control laws, auto-pilots, etc) The areas for application are extensive and cover: Landing gear systems modelling and design Hydraulic system modelling and design Hydraulic equipment design Electro-mechanical actuator modelling, control and design Flight dynamics modelling and analysis Motor control Flight control system modelling, control and design Flight stability and control law analysis Marine vessel auto-pilots and hover function design
What You'll Do: Lead from the front: You'll be deeply involved in hands-on technical work while driving the strategic direction of the Simulation and Control team. Shape the future: Oversee the development and management of cutting-edge mathematical models and detailed analyses for some of the most exciting industries today. Collaborate and innovate: Work closely with other capability managers to align resources, skills, and expertise to meet ambitious project goals. Grow the team: Manage talent, foster skill development, and provide technical leadership to ensure your team thrives. Future targets: Contribute to project proposals and bids, including technical solution and cost estimates.
Essential skills You'll have a strong industrial background in areas related to simulation and control, with a solid understanding of the technical challenges in this field. Your passion for hands-on engineering will shine as you guide your team in solving complex problems, while your leadership skills will help shape the future of our capabilities.
With significant industry experience in one or more of our business areas (>12 years), the successful candidate should have a relevant degree with technical hands-on experience and knowledge in modelling including with some of the following tool sets: Matlab/Simulink and associated toolboxes ADAMS Amesim Leadership Demonstrable experience in technical leadership, including line management and process improvement. Experience in customer facing roles and business development is also advantageous.
The successful candidate must currently hold Security Check (SC) clearance or be eligible to obtain SC.
This role will be based in our Bristol office however as part of our commitment to flexible working, employees are able to work from home for part of the week.
Benefits If you're excited by the idea of working on the cutting-edge of engineering and are ready to take on a role that mixes hands-on technical work with leadership and strategic management, we want to hear from you! Competitive Package, 60,000+ We offer a range of benefits to our employees to recognise their efforts. Playing hard is equally as important as working hard, so regular events are held throughout the year which provide an ideal opportunity to mix socially.
