Lead Simulation and Emulation Development Engineer

Requirements

• Essential Experience & Skills
• Proven track record architecting and developing large-scale emulation models from scratch (not just modifying existing model libraries).
• Strong hands-on experience with Emulate3D, including 3D model building, kinematics, control logic and controls interfacing.
• Experience building emulation models for conveyor-based material handling or baggage handling systems.
• Experience connecting emulation models to real-world PLC control systems for virtual commissioning and software testing purposes.
• Solid understanding of industrial control systems and PLC logic, sufficient to interpret and validate control behaviour within an emulation environment.
• Understanding of industrial networking and communications protocols relevant to controls interfacing (e.g. OPC, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, TCP/IP).
• Experience producing model documentation, including scope, assumptions and validation evidence.
• Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related discipline (or equivalent demonstrable industry experience).
• Ability and willingness to be based at Wise Technical's LHR offices a minimum of 4 days per week.
• Right to work in the UK and eligibility to obtain UK airside/airport security clearance.
• Desirable Experience & Skills
• Prior experience within the airport baggage handling industry, working with systems from vendors such as BEUMER, Vanderlande, Siemens Logistics, Babcock Airports or similar.
• Experience with hold baggage screening (HBS) system modelling and associated regulatory/operational constraints.
• Working knowledge of PLC development (e.g. Siemens S7/TIA Portal, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley) to support closer collaboration with the PLC development team.
• Experience with Demo3D scripting in C# or other Emulate3D scripting/automation tools to accelerate model build and configuration.
• Experience with discrete event simulation and throughput/capacity analysis for material handling systems.
• Familiarity with version control and structured lifecycle management for simulation/emulation project files.
