Graduate Simulation & Control Engineer

Location: Bristol, UK (Long Ashton)

Salary: Competitive + Benefits

Recruiter: Arca Resourcing (on behalf of an innovative engineering client)

Arca Resourcing is supporting a fast-growing, high-performance engineering company based in Bristol in the search for a Graduate Simulation & Control Engineer. This is a rare opportunity to join a cutting-edge team at the forefront of real-time simulation, robotics, and control systems, with direct involvement in the delivery of world-class simulation technology to top-tier clients across automotive and motorsport sectors.

The Role

As a Graduate Simulation & Control Engineer, you’ll gain hands-on experience from day one. Working within a small, highly technical team, you’ll:

• Commission robotic control software for advanced simulation systems, both on-site and at customer locations
• Evaluate, test, and improve the performance of physical simulator platforms
• Integrate electrical and control subsystems into complete simulation solutions
• Use real-time telemetry to diagnose and resolve hardware/software issues
• Build and operate test rigs using sensors, actuators, and real-time control systems
• Support and improve simulator performance in live environments

What We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for a high-achieving, early-career engineer with a strong academic background and a passion for solving real-world technical challenges. We’re looking for:

• A First-Class Honours degree in Engineering, Robotics, Physics, Maths, Computer Science or a closely related discipline
• A red brick university or equivalent top-tier academic institution
• Excellent A-Level results, including Maths and Science subjects
• Proficiency in at least one high-level programming language (e.g. Python, MATLAB)
• A rigorous and analytical approach to problem solving
• Strong grasp of Physics and Maths fundamentals
• A proactive, hands-on mindset and willingness to take ownership
• Clear communication skills and ability to work effectively in a small team

What You Can Expect

• Early responsibility and meaningful work on complex, fast-paced projects
• A technical deep-dive into simulation, modelling and control
• Daily use of industry tools such as TwinCAT and Python
• Exposure to both virtual simulations and real-world systems
• Close collaboration with experts in robotics, control, and high-performance systems
• Opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge solutions delivered to leading automotive and motorsport clients

If you're an ambitious graduate with outstanding academic credentials, practical problem-solving ability, and a passion for engineering systems that bridge the physical and virtual worlds, we’d love to hear from you.
