Does solving complex problems interest you? Would you thrive in a collaborative environment? Do you want to apply your skills to a complex problem domain? Then they want to speak to you They are recruiting for a number of Systems Engineering roles, but wherever you go, you will work on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of their products. Your work may be exploited into: The radar for the Typhoon fighter jet The radar for the SAAB Gripen fighter Their family of Surveillance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radars An IRCM (Infra-Red Counter Measures) system Their 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. They are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge, they 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. What they need from you: 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. They are not expecting you to have deep theoretical knowledge of radar, electro-optics or infrared systems. What they are looking for are systems engineers with applied engineering experience that they can build upon through training, team working and mentoring. They are particularly interested in speaking to you if you have experience in any of the following areas: 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 Security Clearance You must be eligible for full security clearance and access to UK-caveated and ITAR controlled information.
