System Engineer (All Levels) - Full Time

Job Description:
The opportunity:
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 jet
The radar for the SAAB Gripen fighter
Our family of Surveillance AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radars
An IRCM (Infra-Red Counter Measures) system
Our laser target designator or laser ranging systems
What you'll do as a Systems Engineer
Systems 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 platforms
Engage with stakeholders to define requirements for a new system
Design and integrate new functionality into an existing sub-system in Simulink
Collaborate with other engineers to design and prototype a detailed model of a system to understand observed simulated performance
Design and prototype algorithms in Matlab, taking into account limitations and constraints of the target hardware
Investigate the cause of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities, using real trials data
Dependent on experience, you may lead technical activities and initiatives, or you may mentor and coach other engineers.
What we need from you:
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 definition
Systems Architecture
Synthetic Environments
Performance Modelling
Verification and Validation
System of Systems
Domain specialisms, e.g.
Digital signal processing
RF systems
Electro-optic systems
Medical imaging systems, image processing, image / object classification / identification
Computer vision image processing (e.g. segmentation, clustering)
Multi-sensor data fusion and tracking
Real time data simulation/generation
Security Clearance
You must be eligible for full security clearance and access to UK-caveated and ITAR controlled information. For more information and guidance, please visit:
