Job Details

The Opportunity
Seeker Division requires a modeller to produce models of the seeker for a number of new seeker concepts/architectures. The model includes representations of 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.
 
The Role

 

  • 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
  • Opportunity to 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
  • Documenting the model changes and creating test vectors
    What’s in it for you?
    This role offers an opportunity to be part of a successful team working at the forefront of technology, developing new and innovative concepts for future seekers. In addition to your core skills in modelling, you will have the opportunity to gain experience in RF and EO seeker technologies and system engineering design practices.
