Job Description :
- Are you a systems-thinker?
- Does solving complex problems interest you?
- Would you thrive in a collaborative environment?
- Do you want to apply your skills to a complex problem domain?
Then we want to speak to you
We are recruiting for a number of Systems Engineering roles, but wherever you go, you will work on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products. Your work may be exploited into :
The radar for the Typhoon fighter jetThe radar for the SAAB Gripen fighterOur family of Surveillance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radarsAn IRCM (Infra-Red Counter Measures) systemOur laser target designator or laser ranging systemsSystems Engineers span a range of activities that help pull together all the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system. As a Systems Engineer, you will bridge the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.
We are recruiting for a number of roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge, we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss the options with you.
Typical work you might be involved in :
Contribute to an early concept study investigating the application of new technology on future platformsEngage with stakeholders to define requirements for a new systemDesign and integrate new functionality into an existing sub-system in SimulinkCollaborate with other engineers to design and prototype a detailed model of a system to understand observed simulated performanceDesign and prototype algorithms in Matlab, taking into account limitations and constraints of the target hardwareInvestigate the cause of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities, using real trials dataDependent on experience, you may lead technical activities and initiatives, or you may mentor and coach other engineers.
Ideally, you will have a science-based Honours degree or equivalent experience. You will have worked in industry, or will have advanced academic research experience. We are not expecting you to have deep theoretical knowledge of radar, electro-optics or infrared systems. What we are looking for are systems engineers with applied engineering experience that we can build upon through training, team working and mentoring.
We are particularly interested in speaking to you if you have experience in any of the following areas :
Systems Engineering specialisms, e.g.Problem definitionSystems ArchitectureSynthetic EnvironmentsPerformance ModellingVerification and ValidationSystem of SystemsDomain specialisms, e.g.Digital signal processingRF systemsElectro-optic systemsMedical imaging systems, image processing, image / object classification / identificationComputer vision image processing (e.g. segmentation, clustering)Multi-sensor data fusion and trackingReal time data simulation / generationSecurity Clearance
