Salary: Up to £57,810 depending on skills and experience

What you’ll be doing:

·       Conduct mathematical modelling and simulation development devising and evolving algorithmic and design solutions to meet system capability and performance requirements of complex underwater weapon or radar systems

·       Develop, maintain, and evolve high-fidelity, high-integrity, high-complexity mathematical models and performance simulations of technical solutions for such systems

·       Utilise mathematical modelling and simulation to identify and develop performance enhancements and novel solutions to improve existing underwater weapon or radar product capability and evolve future associated technologies

·       Develop novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues that our customer community are facing

·       Support multi-disciplined engineering teams in the realisation, implementation, verification, and validation of algorithmic and design solutions for deployable underwater weapon or radar systems

·       Conduct system performance analysis and design trade-offs of principle system parameters in order to characterise and define system design constraints and limitations in various operational scenarios

·       Undertake system performance analysis of integration and post trials data to inform underwater weapon or radar systems design solutions, and to generate customer acceptance evidence

·       Be a technical focus point for development and analysis activities, preparing and presenting technical aspects to the required stakeholders

·       Apply a breadth of knowledge, skills and experience of Systems Engineering (e.g., ISO 15288) to design and develop solutions and resolve engineering issues and problems for a range of products and engineering situations across our underwater or radar sectors

·       Understands engineering principles and approaches and be capable of systems thinking, applying holistic approaches to complex problems

·       Experience of mathematical simulation tools/languages (e.g., MathWorks MATLAB, Simulink, Pearl, Python, MathCAD)

·       Experience of using a high-level design methodology (e.g., SysML, UML) to define modelled solutions for subsequent implementation

·       An understanding of factors that can affect the real-world performance of underwater weapon or radar systems and how these can impact modelled or simulated performance prediction

·       An understanding of signal processing and/or tracking algorithms and techniques employed on contemporary radio, satellite, radar or sonar real-world systems would be an advantage

Benefits: 

You’ll receive benefits including a competitive pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance and a Company contributed Share Incentive Plan. You’ll also have access to additional benefits such as flexible working, an employee assistance programme, Cycle2work and employee discounts – you may also be eligible for an annual incentive.
