Stevenage based (4 day working week)

SC clearance required

Our client is a world leader within the defence industry. They are a multinational developer and manufacture and missiles, created in 2001.

About the Role:

The role is for an experienced Modeller, to work on a project which is developing, building and testing real hardware for a key missile sub-system. The role is to produce models of the seeker for a number of new seeker concepts/architectures. This includes representations of the seeker hardware, digital processing and target environment. You would be part of a team that 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
Producing a simpler representation of the model for use in the missile model
Optionally updating the legacy Seeker model in Statemate
Documenting the model changes and creating test vectors

Due to the sensitive nature of the work it is predominantly done on-site but there is some flexibility depending on project.

Tools:

Simulink
Matlab

Skills (Essential):

Modelling for auto-coding.
Assessing suitability of algorithms in the model.
Technical report writing.
Model delivery experience.

Skills (Desirable):

Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model.
Familiarity with Radar and Control Systems.
Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing.
RF experience.
