Modelling & Simulation: Advanced skill in MATLAB, Simulink, and Python for complex modelling, dynamic simulation, and data analysis.
Design & CFD: Advanced skill in 3D CAD modelling and strong working knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for aerodynamic performance.
Standards & Systems Engineering: Strong practical understanding of systems engineering processes, requirements management, FMEA, and testing methods.
