## Description

Working closely with our Control Systems Group, you'll play an important role in developing and advancing our real-time simulation capabilities, including our Gearbox Dyno and Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) Simulator.

This is an opportunity to work across real-time systems, controls and multi-domain modelling, developing and integrating sophisticated simulation solutions that accurately replicate real-world powertrain, driveline and vehicle behaviour. Your work will directly contribute to improving simulation fidelity, system performance and our ability to develop and validate vehicle technologies., * Support the ongoing development and evolution of the team's Gearbox Dyno and DIL Simulator.

 * Develop, integrate and maintain real-time models covering power unit, driveline, hydraulic and vehicle systems.
 * Develop and improve simulation and control solutions to enhance the accuracy, fidelity and performance of HIL systems.
 * Apply modelling, simulation and correlation techniques to validate system behaviour, investigate discrepancies and resolve technical issues.
 * Develop, integrate and maintain real-time and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation solutions.
 * Develop interfaces and integration between real-time systems, including the Gearbox Dyno and DIL Simulator.
 * Contribute to the development and maintenance of tools for system configuration, diagnostics, data visualisation, simulation and analysis.
 * Work collaboratively across Simulation, Vehicle Modelling and Control Systems, communicating technical findings and contributing to engineering development activities.
