Graduate Application Engineer – Automotive Simulation

Are you early in your engineering career and want to move beyond theory into real-world automotive projects? This is an opportunity to step into a field-based applications role where you will build on your experience with automotive communication and simulation tools, while working directly with customers.

You will be supporting OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers as they develop and test next-generation vehicle systems. It is a role where you will learn fast, get hands-on with advanced technology, and gain exposure to real programmes rather than staying in a purely internal or lab-based environment.

The hiring manager is open to engineers with around 1-2 years’ experience working with automotive communication networks, simulation tools or embedded systems, who want to step into a more customer-facing and project-led role.

What You Will Do:

• Support customer projects, helping deliver technical solutions across simulation and validation activities

• Work with automotive communication systems including CAN, LIN, FlexRay and Ethernet

• Assist with the setup and configuration of HIL and SIL environments

• Support customers in implementing and troubleshooting simulation and testing solutions

• Contribute to project planning, tracking progress and supporting delivery against timelines

• Produce clear updates and reports, highlighting risks and progress

• Support internal development of demo and test systems

• Build your knowledge of automotive architectures, standards and emerging technologies

What You Will Bring:

• Degree in Electrical, Electronic, Automotive or Computer Science Engineering

• 1-2 years’ experience working with automotive communication networks (CAN, LIN etc) or similar technologies

• Exposure to simulation, test or validation environments (HIL, SIL or similar)

• Understanding of embedded systems or ECU-level engineering

• Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with customers

• A proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and develop quickly

This role is built for development.

You will not be expected to know everything from day one. You will receive structured training, hands-on support and the opportunity to learn directly from experienced engineers while working on live customer projects.

It is a chance to accelerate your career, gain real industry exposure and move into a role where you can see the impact of your work.

Location:

Based in Warwick, with occasional travel to customer sites across the UK and Europe.
