Job description

Systems Performance Modelling Engineer is required for a long term contract assignment based in Stevenage or Bristol

Skillset/experience required:

Tools:

• Simulink - essential
• Matlab - essential

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

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
