Job Title: Lead Software Engineer.

Location: Nottingham, United Kingdom

Reports to: Sr Software Engineering Manager

Job Overview:

Ready to shape the future of engineering simulation? Join our Solver Team in Nottingham and help develop next-generation simulation technologies used by leading automotive, aerospace, motorsport, electric vehicle, and renewable energy companies worldwide.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will work at the intersection of mathematical modelling, high-performance computing, and software engineering to create advanced simulation solutions for complex multi-physics systems. You will help design cutting-edge numerical solvers, GPU-accelerated computing frameworks, and scalable software architectures, while establishing engineering best practices and shaping the technical direction for future product development.

Job Responsibilities:

Develop mathematical models and numerical methods to simulate thermal and structural interactions within complex engineering systems.
Design and implement analytical and numerical solvers, including quasi-static and time-stepping algorithms for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs).
Design and implement high-performance simulation software using modern C++ (C++17/20), delivering robust, scalable, and maintainable solutions.
Develop and optimize compute-intensive algorithms using multithreading, SIMD techniques, and GPU acceleration technologies such as CUDA and OpenCL.
Analyze software performance, identify computational bottlenecks, and implement optimizations across CPU and GPU architectures.
Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar to improve development productivity while maintaining high engineering quality standards.
Translate research concepts, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts into production-ready software.
Collaborate closely with software developers, research engineers, product managers, and domain experts to deliver innovative simulation capabilities.

Job Qualifications:

A PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. We welcome applications from recent PhD graduates as well as those with several years of post-doctoral or industry research experience.
Strong software development skills with demonstrated proficiency in modern C++.
Deep understanding of object-oriented design, software architecture, and software engineering best practices.
Strong knowledge of numerical methods, mathematical modelling, and computational problem solving.
Experience developing performance-critical software or computational algorithms.
Understanding of AI-assisted software development and practical use of LLMs, and agent-based development workflows.

Additional Skills/Preferences:

Experience in multi-body dynamics, multiscale modelling, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, or other physics-based simulation domains.
Knowledge of modern software development practices including CI/CD, automated testing, and DevOps workflows.
Knowledge of high-performance computing techniques including SIMD vectorisation, cache optimization, distributed computing, and parallel programming.

Additional Information:

This role is based in our Nottingham office, with a hybrid working arrangement of at least 3 days per week on-site. You will join a specialist Solver Team working alongside research engineers, software developers, product managers, and domain experts. The team operates with a strong culture of technical rigour and collaborative problem-solving, using modern tooling including GitHub, Azure DevOps, and AI-assisted development environments.

Check what we can offer you:

Competitive salary
25 days holiday per year
Private Medical and Dental plans, Income Protection and Life Insurance
