WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

This engineering role is for the Modelling & Simulation discipline which is one of the more specialist areas. Modelling & Simulation has applications throughout the whole engineering lifecycle, from prototyping and evaluating early design concepts, producing a realistic models of how a system performs, through to developing complex networked simulations to support front-line training activities. Your work could also include: preparing/improving computational fluid dynamics or electromagnetics software toolsets; validation and documentation of toolsets; developing new prototype Virtual Reality or Artificial Intelligence based demonstrators to improve product usability or design etc.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Modelling & Simulation has applications throughout the whole engineering lifecycle:

• From prototyping and evaluating early design concepts
• Producing a realistic models of how a system performs
• Developing complex networked simulations to support front-line training activities.
• Preparing/improving computational fluid dynamics and electromagnetics software toolsets
• Validation and documentation of toolsets
• Developing new prototype Virtual Reality or Artificial Intelligence based demonstrators to improve product usability or design etc.

During the Graduate scheme you will be expected to be involved in a number of areas in order to develop a broad understanding of the products and services we are involved with. It covers the entire BAE Systems product range spanning air, sea and land domains, although this role has a particular focus on air platforms within the Air Sector business.
