Principal Modelling Engineer
St. Neots, Cambridgeshire - Permanent
We are expanding our modelling team at our head office in St Neots, looking for leadership and technical excellence delivering crucial elements of a large, state-of-the-art, System-of-Systems project.
You will help design, implement, test and support new capability with the opportunity to take part in both domestic and international trials using your teams’ outputs, while working with both current and future technologies, techniques and methodologies.
Working autonomously, you will work in an agile manner (SCRUM), planning, reviewing and implementing sprint tasks for the whole team. You will report to, and be supported by, the Project Design Authority who will work with you to coordinate outputs, develop the team’s skillset, and ensure high quality delivery to the customer.
You will develop into the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the project acting as the main point of contact for stakeholder queries.
The invaluable experience you’ll bring, to help us achieve more.
