Job description

Job Title: Senior Radar Systems Mathematical Modeller

Location: Isle of Wight – Cowes. We offer flexible working arrangements – please speak to your recruiter about the options for this particular role

Salary: Up to 60,000 commensurate with skills and experience

What you’ll be doing:

• Conduct mathematical modelling and simulation development devising and evolving algorithmic and design solutions to meet system capability and performance requirements of complex radar systems
• Utilise mathematical modelling and simulation to identify and develop performance enhancements and novel solutions to improve existing radar product capability and evolve future associated technologies
• Develop novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues that our customer community are facing
• Support multi-disciplined engineering teams in the realisation, implementation, verification and validation of algorithmic and design solutions for deployable radar systems
• Conduct system performance analysis and design trade-offs of principle system parameters in order to characterise and define system design constraints and limitations in various operational scenarios
• Undertake system performance analysis of integration and post trials data to inform radar systems design solutions, and to generate customer acceptance evidence
• Apply a breadth of knowledge, skills and experience of Systems Engineering (e.g. ISO 15288) to design and develop solutions and resolve engineering issues and problems for a range of products and engineering situations

Your Skills and Experiences

• A strong mathematical and engineering mind-set with an innovative approach to problem solving that can be applied to resolving complex technical and system level requirements
• Experience of mathematical simulation tools/languages (e.g. Mathworks MATLAB, Simulink, Pearl, Python, MathCAD)
• An understanding of factors that can affect the real-world performance of radar systems and how these can impact modelled or simulated performance prediction
• Further education (or equivalent experience) in a relevant STEM discipline

Benefits:

You’ll receive benefits including a competitive pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance and a Company contributed Share Incentive Plan. You’ll also have access to additional benefits such as flexible working, an employee assistance programme, Cycle2work and employee discounts – you may also be eligible for an annual incentive.
