We are recruiting a Control Systems Engineer to join a growing engineering team working on technically complex systems. This role offers the opportunity to contribute across the full control system lifecycle, from requirements analysis and modelling through to testing, validation and troubleshooting.

The successful candidate will have a strong grounding in control systems engineering, with hands‑on experience in system modelling and simulation. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, reliable and high‑performance control solutions.

• Analyse system requirements and translate them into robust control system designs
• Develop, simulate and optimise control models using MATLAB/Simulink
• Specify and integrate appropriate hardware and software components to meet functional and performance requirements

• Plan and execute control system testing to ensure compliance with safety and operational standards
• Develop test procedures and assess system behaviour across a range of operating conditions
• Diagnose faults, analyse root causes and implement effective corrective actions

• Proactively identify potential system risks and contribute to mitigation strategies
• Work collaboratively with engineers across multiple disciplines to ensure smooth system integration

• Degree (BEng / MEng / MSc) in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline

• Practical experience designing and modelling control systems using MATLAB/Simulink
• Strong understanding of control theory and system behaviour
• Experience testing and troubleshooting control systems
• Proven problem‑solving ability in technically demanding environments

• Integration of microprocessor or DSP‑based hardware
• PLC and HMI programming for automation and control
• Development and execution of test and validation protocols

Security Clearance (SC) or eligibility to gain is required to be considered for this vacancy.
