Job Description:
We are recruiting for a Signal Processing Specialist within the Systems Engineering Function to design and develop requirements and solutions that sit at the heart of our products on the core signal processing kernel.
The role will require on-site working at our state of the art UK site in Luton.
Due to the nature of our work, you must be capable of achieving a minimum of SC security clearance and may require access to caveated information such as UK eyes only. An ability to achieve DV clearance would be advantageous. Please see the UK National Security Vetting site for more details.
Current ongoing work:
Protection systems for current RAF aircraft and export customers, including Typhoon and Apache
Technology development for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), developing Tempest, the next generation fighter aircraft that will replace the RAF's Typhoon
Concept demonstrators for future Electronic warfare technologies and systems
Drawing insight from the vast amounts of data collected by our electronic surveillance systems through artificial intelligence and machine learning
What you'll do as a Systems Engineer:
Our Systems Engineers work in multidisciplinary teams spanning a range of activities pulling together the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system, bridging the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.
Typical work you might be involved in:
Early concept studies investigating the application of new technology on future platforms
Engaging with stakeholders, defining requirements for a new system
Conducting cost and functional performance trade-offs and evaluation of proposed solutions
Enhancing capabilities and performance of in-service systems
Designing and integrating new functionality into an existing system
Modelling a system to understand observed simulated performance
Development of capability within limitations and constraints of the target hardware
Root-cause analysis of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities
Designing and conducting testing and trials to prove equipment function and performance
Opportunities to lead technical activities and initiatives
Mentoring and coaching other engineers
Creating and delivering reports, presentations and proposals to customers and industry partners
Supporting knowledge sharing and exploitation of good practice
What we need from you:
A science-based Honours degree or equivalent experience
Industrial or academic research experience
Mathematical Background in data analysis and pattern matching
Experience in design of algorithms for embedded real-time systems
Knowledge of Sensor Fusion technologies and strategies
Experience or a desire to gain electronic warfare domain knowledge
