JOB DESCRIPTION
Our Client has an immediate requirement for experienced Systems Engineers to join their Development Teams, you will work on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of the products. Your work may be:
The radar for the Typhoon fighter jet
The radar for the SAAB Gripen fighter
The family of Surveillance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radars
An IRCM (Infra-Red Counter Measures) system
The laser target designator or laser ranging systems.
What you’ll do as a Systems Engineer
Systems Engineers span a range of activities that help pull together all the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.
We are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge, we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss the options with you.
Typical work you might be involved in:
Contribute to an early concept study investigating the application of new technology on future platforms.
Engage with stakeholders to define requirements for a new system.
Design and integrate new functionality into an existing sub-system in Simulink.
Collaborate with other engineers to design and prototype a detailed model of a system to understand observed simulated performance.
Design and prototype algorithms in Matlab; taking into account limitations and constraints of the target hardware.
Investigate the cause of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities, using real trials data.
Dependent on experience, you may lead technical activities and initiatives, or you may mentor and coach other engineers.
Experience
Ideally, you will have a science-based Honours degree or equivalent experience. You will have worked in industry or will have advanced academic research experience. Experience in any of the following areas is of particular interest:
Systems Engineering specialisms, e.g.
Problem definition
Systems Architecture
Synthetic Environments
Performance Modelling
Verification and Validation
System of Systems
Domain specialisms, e.g.
Digital signal processing
RF systems
Electro-optic systems
Medical imaging systems, image processing, image / object classification / identification
Computer vision image processing (e.g. segmentation, clustering)
Multi-sensor data fusion and tracking
Real time data simulation/generation
To apply for this position, you must be eligible to live and work in the UK and either possess or be able to obtain UK MOD Security Clearance to SC Level.
