Systems Performance Modelling Engineer

Endeavour Recruitment; West of England; On-site; GBP 170,000 - 186,000; Full time

Job summary

Endeavour Recruitment is seeking a Systems Performance Modelling Engineer for on-site roles in Bristol/Stevenage. The position requires modelling the RF seeker system in Matlab/Simulink, developing auto-coded components and integrating into the missile dynamic reference model.

The role demands SC/UKEO clearance and a commitment to working largely on site with limited travel to other client locations. You will validate model components against data and contribute to test vectors and documentation.

Qualifications

• Likely to be Degree level.
• MATLAB/Simulink modelling experience required.
• SC/UKEO security clearance preferred.

Responsibilities

• 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 versions.
• 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.

Systems Performance Modelling Engineer

Overview:

• 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:

• 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)
