About the Role
Wise Technical is seeking an experienced Lead Simulation and Emulation Development Engineer to lead the design, architecture, and delivery of emulation models for automated baggage handling systems (BHS). This senior, hands-on technical leadership role involves setting standards, structure, and quality for simulation and emulation development, while architecting and building large-scale emulation models from scratch using Emulate3D. The successful candidate will own the technical delivery of emulation models across the project lifecycle, ensuring accurate representation of mechanical, controls, and operational behavior, and providing technical leadership to the simulation and emulation function.
Responsibilities
- Lead the architecture and design of large-scale emulation models for baggage handling systems using Emulate3D.
- Define and ensure consistent application of modelling standards, structure, naming conventions, and best practices.
- Provide technical direction and mentorship to simulation/emulation engineers, reviewing models for accuracy, performance, and maintainability.
- Act as the senior technical point of contact for simulation and emulation matters, aligning model development with product and project priorities.
- Design and build 3D emulation models of conveyor systems, sortation equipment, diverters, screening machines, and associated material handling equipment using Emulate3D.
- Develop kinematic and behavioural logic for equipment models, replicating real-world mechanical operation, sensor behaviour, and fault conditions.
- Build and configure Emulate3D control system connections for virtual commissioning against real PLC code.
- Develop bag-flow and induction logic within emulation models for system-level testing.
- Support virtual commissioning of PLC applications by validating control logic against emulation models.
- Develop and maintain reusable model libraries and component templates.
- Configure and run throughput and performance simulations for system design validation and capacity planning.
- Produce and maintain model design documentation.
- Plan and lead model-based testing activities, including software FAT support and control system validation.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure emulation models reflect the latest system design.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks and modelling constraints.
- Line-manage and/or technically lead junior and mid-level simulation/emulation engineers.
- Liaise with various engineering teams for coordinated system delivery.
- Represent Wise Technical in technical discussions with clients, integrators, and equipment suppliers.
Requirements
- Proven track record architecting and developing large-scale emulation models from scratch.
- 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.
- Solid understanding of industrial control systems and PLC logic.
- 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.
