Systems Performance Modelling Engineer

Initial 12-months

Inside IR35

Stevenage OR Bristol 4-5 days per week

SC required, UKEO programme

Overview of department:

We are looking for a modeller to produce models of the seeker RF Radar. The model includes the seeker hardware, digital processing and target environment. The modelling team is responsible for developing the model, producing auto-code, generating seeker performance predictions and interfacing the seeker model into the missile dynamic reference model.

Responsibilities (to include):

Modelling in Matlab and Simulink using model-based design techniques

Producing parts of a complex Seeker model including modelling the target scenario, seeker hardware and processor algorithms

Develop and implement algorithms within the model

Producing and verifying auto-code for the software algorithms from the model

Carrying out seeker performance assessment

Validating model components against real world data and writing up results.

Producing a simpler representation of the model for use in the missile model

Upgrading legacy Seeker models to newer MATLAB/Simulink Vectors

Documenting the model changes and creating test vectors

Due to the sensitive nature of the work it is predominantly done onsite but there is some flexibility depending on project.

Skillset / experience required:

Tools:

Simulink

Matlab

Skills:

Modelling for auto-coding

Assessing suitability of algorithms in the model

Validating models

Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model (desirable)

Familiarity with Radar and Control Systems (desirable)

Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing (desirable)

RF experience (desirable)

Experience in C (not essential)

Technical report writing

Model delivery experience

Ability to work as part of a fast paced team
