Job Description:

We are working with an established engineering organisation specialising in the development of advanced technology for the maritime and defence sectors. They deliver complex systems and equipment for a range of naval and underwater applications, with a strong focus on engineering innovation, system integration and operational performance.

They are looking to appoint a Control Systems Engineer to support the design, development, modelling and testing of control systems for complex engineering applications. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to projects throughout the engineering lifecycle, from initial design and simulation through to system integration, testing and trials.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and validate control systems for complex engineering applications.
• Produce system specifications, design documentation, calculations and associated engineering drawings.
• Develop models and simulations using tools such as Rockwell PLC, NI LabVIEW and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Support hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop testing, system integration and verification activities.
• Investigate technical issues and develop effective solutions in collaboration with internal teams, suppliers and customers.
• Support system testing, commissioning and trials, including activities on operational maritime platforms.
• Provide engineering support to test, acceptance and production activities.
• Progress design activities in line with project requirements, engineering processes and programme milestones.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience

• Experience with one or more of the following:
  • Rockwell PLC toolchain
  • NI LabVIEW
  • MATLAB/Simulink and supporting toolboxes
• Ability to develop complex models of system behaviour to support requirements definition and validation.
• Experience designing and implementing cost-effective engineering solutions, considering cost, safety and programme constraints.
• Good understanding of the engineering lifecycle and design processes.
• Knowledge of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing.
• Experience developing, testing and evaluating theoretical and prototype designs.
• Ability to produce detailed technical specifications and outline designs.
• Experience resolving technical challenges with suppliers, subcontractors and customers.
