Capability Development Engineer – Electrical Systems

We are seeking a Capability Development Engineer to join the Digital Engineering Electrical Systems Pillar, supporting the capability development for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

The role is focused on the development of electrical Power Management capability, specifically the modelling, development, and validation of control logic and monitoring functions using AmeSim and MATLAB Simulink/Simscape Electrical.

You will be responsible for developing dynamic models for power generation, conversion, distribution, and load management systems, alongside the associated control strategies that ensure safe, reliable, and optimised operation across all flight and mission phases.

Core duties:

• Supporting the Electrical Systems team to develop and deploy the electrical Power Management engineering capability

• Develop and maintain reusable modelling frameworks for electrical power management in Amesim and/or MATLAB Simulink/Simscape Electrical

• Develop reusable libraries representing power generation, conversion, distribution, load management, and protection behaviours

• Define structured approaches for modelling control logic, monitoring, fault detection, and reconfiguration strategies

• Ensure alignment and compatibility between Amesim/Simscape Electrical plant models and Simulink control models

• Produce technical guidance and support engineering teams using the capability

• Identify opportunities for automation, model templating, and efficiency improvements
