This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated graduate to apply and develop their simulation and analysis skills in a world-class engineering environment. You'll support the delivery of high-performance vehicle projects — on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards — while contributing to RML's culture of continuous improvement and innovation.



Key Responsibilities

As a Graduate Simulation Engineer, you will:

  • Carry out simulation activities to support and deliver Powertrain projects to agreed time, cost and quality targets.
  • Contribute to the development of RML's in-house vehicle simulation software and toolboxes.
  • Manage software and toolbox versions using subversion control systems.
  • Support the identification and testing of new candidate battery cells, analyse results, and update the RML cell database.
  • Build and maintain broad vehicle performance knowledge to deliver safe, reliable and competitive Powertrains.
  • Support target setting, design of experiments (DoEs) and sensitivity studies throughout project lifecycles.
  • Conduct Multiphysics analyses, including CAD processing, meshing, test setup, and post-processing of results.
  • Assist in the creation and maintenance of Engineering Guides, Procedures and Standards.
  • Liaise with cross-functional teams (Vehicle Engineering, Purchasing, etc.) to ensure integrated design optimisation.
  • Ensure health and safety compliance and actively contribute to RML's safe working culture.
  • Continue professional development (CPD) and research new technologies to enhance RML's CAE and simulation capabilities.


About You

We're looking for a proactive, analytical, and detail-oriented graduate who thrives in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Qualifications and Experience:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant Engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical, Automotive, Electrical, Aerospace).
  • Experience in vehicle subsystem or component simulation (e.g., via Formula Student or work placement).

Skills and Knowledge:

  • Awareness of Matlab/Simulink and Object-Oriented Programming.
  • Understanding of physics principles (structural loads, constraints, heat transfer, fluid dynamics).
  • Some knowledge of Control Theory.
  • Awareness of structured problem-solving tools (8D, Ishikawa) and analytical techniques.
  • Ability to produce clear, accurate technical reports and documentation.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Flexible, adaptable, and customer-focused approach.


Why Join RML?

At RML, you'll be part of a collaborative and innovative team working on cutting-edge automotive projects. We offer:

  • Exposure to industry-leading engineering tools and methods.
