Overview of department:
Mission Planning & Control (MP&C) is a department responsible for providing software-based products into a variety of weapon systems that provide a range of capability, from enabling the pre-planning of effectors for specific mission needs to post-launch control systems. This role is specific to working within the Anglo-French FC/ASW project, a large weapon system development within the Assessment Phase of the development cycle and covering a significant breadth of products and technologies specific to MP&C.
The FC/ASW project environment is dynamic and fast-paced with a rapidly evolving understanding of the needs of the Customers and associated constraints. You'll be working within the MP&C team, formed of ~8 driven and skilled individuals but will also engage with and work alongside many other stakeholders across the project, including Technical Experts, Functional Domain Leads, and other Architects.

1. Develop Weapon System Sub-System architecture models across all MP&C sub-systems (Planning, Control & Monitor, Rehearsal) to help derive and capture:
1. Use cases
2. Functional architecture
3. Information & data modelling (interface capture)
4. Requirement derivation
2. Ensure alignment between Operator needs and architecture definition (incl. CONUSE)
3. Ensure alignment between architecture definition and expected algorithms
4. Support & drive for maximally modular architecture to be capable of future evolutions.
5. Review and agree the architecture/design with a variety of stakeholders, potentially both internally (Human Factors, Software, Munition etc.) and externally (MoD, DGA etc.).
6. Provide knowledge transfer into the FC/ASW MP&C team relating to the understanding/interpreting of the model, architecture techniques etc.
Skillset/Experience Required:
An experienced Model Based Systems Engineering Practitioner with current knowledge of the following:
