MERITUS Talent are working with one of Europe's busiest defence organisations for the recruitment of a Systems Performance Modelling Engineer to join their Stevenage office on a contract basis. Systems Performance Modelling Engineer - Stevenage - Contract - 75 per hour via Umbrella - Fully onsite - SC clearance required - Sole British Citizenship Job Title: Systems Performance Modelling Engineer Overview of department: We are looking for a modeller to produce models of on RF products. 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 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 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 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 onsite but there is some flexibility depending on project. Skillset/experience required: Tools: Simulink Matlab Skills: Modelling for auto-coding Algorithm development Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model Familiarity with Radar and Control Systems (desirable) Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing (desirable) RF experience (desirable) Technical report writing Model delivery experience Ability to work as part of a fast paced team
