Modelling and Simulation Engineer

About the role

Rolls Royce Motor Cars seeks a Modelling and Simulation Engineer to drive digital development of aerospace inspired systems for ultra luxury vehicles. You will create, validate, and refine multi physics CAE models (structural, thermal, aerodynamic) to optimise safety, refinement, and performance. Partnering with design, test, and manufacturing teams, you will correlate simulations to physical data, support virtual validation and digital twin initiatives, and influence early phase design decisions. You will champion simulation best practices in a craftsmanship obsessed, innovation driven environment with global BMW Group career opportunities.

Responsibilities

• Develop and validate physics based models and simulations for aerospace systems supporting ultra luxury vehicle programs
• Perform structural, thermal, and aerodynamic analyses to optimise safety, performance, and refinement of components and assemblies
• Translate test, track, and rig data into calibrated digital models; correlate simulation results with physical testing
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and test engineers to influence requirements, materials, and geometry early in the development cycle
• Build and maintain simulation workflows, automation scripts, and documentation to ensure repeatable, high quality analysis
• Prepare clear technical reports and present findings, risks, and design recommendations to cross functional stakeholders
• Support digital twin and virtual validation initiatives to reduce physical prototypes and accelerate development cycles
• Ensure models and simulations comply with internal standards, regulatory requirements, and safety guidelines
• Continuously improve modelling methods, tools, and best practices; evaluate new CAE technologies and approaches
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of craftsmanship, precision, and continuous improvement

Required Skills

• Finite element analysis (FEA)
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
