Job description

World Class Defence Organisation based in Stevenage and Bristol is currently looking to recruit a Systems Performance Modelling Engineer subcontractor on an initial 12 month contract. Your base site can be either Stevenage or Bristol, depending on your preference. The role can be worked on a 4 day week basis (Monday to Thursday) but due to the nature of the work, the position will need to be based onsite.

This role would be suitable for a Simulation and Modelling Engineer (Matlab / Simulink) ideally from the defence or aerospace industry.

Rate:£85.00 per hour

Location: Your base site can be either Stevenage or Bristol, depending on your preference

Hybrid / Remote working: The role will based onsite. A compressed 4-Day week of Monday to Thursday is possible

Contract:37 Hours per week

Overtime: Hours worked over 37 hours per week will be calculated at ‘time and a quarter’

Duration:12 Months (initially and then ongoing and long-term thereafter)

IR35 status: Inside IR35 (Umbrella)

Systems Performance Modelling Engineer

Job Description

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
• 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
• Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model (desirable)
• Familiarity with Radar and Control Systems (desirable)Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing (desirable)
