Your experience of systems modelling will help you to join the System Performance team working on a complex and interesting project, which is entering the Assessment Phase, a 3-year period during which the concept is to be refined to a point at which it can be progressed to design and manufacture.
You will have the opportunity to work for a leading multi-national Defence systems provider which boasts some of most advanced facilities in their areas of expertise. A corporate benefits package and transparent career development opportunities are on offer within this vibrant Engineering environment.
About the job:
Our client currently requires the services of a Systems Performance Engineers to carry out technical studies on missile performance and survivability. Missile performance studies use models of the system to estimate key performance indicators such as range and terminal accuracy, among others. Survivability is a new domain and studies the probability of success of a mission in advanced and contested environments.
System Performance is an essential part of the system design and a key indicator as to whether the design is suitable. You will use MATLAB models to show product accuracy and to help design decisions internally. The System Performance Engineer will:
Carry out technical studies into missile performance and survivability to help the project understand key trades and the impact of design choices
Develop a good understanding of how the wider system affects performance and the knock on impacts of changes to the design
Work with SMEs in Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Lethality, Guidance, Control & Navigation, Seekers (and others) to understand how each of these contribute to system performance
Work closely with the functional domain leads to clearly capture the impact of any changes to system functionality on performance
Report performance data in a clear and concise way in internal design reviews and external performance statements to customers
Work in an agile and close-knit team. The team works in 4-week sprints, the objectives of which are agreed by the team at the start of each sprint.
Present study conclusions and performance data to key partners including management and customers at the end of each sprint.
Use their knowledge at the technical working level to shape future studies. As the person closest to the working level, a System Performance Engineer will have a good understanding of how design choices affect performance and are in a good position to help guide the work done by the team
About you:
As a Systems Performance Engineer your skills and qualifications will ideally include:
Experience of model development or using mathematical models to assess system behaviour
Experience of data analysis using Matlab and Simulink (or similar)
Experience of capturing and presenting technical data.
Experience of configuration control of models could be useful.
Understanding of trade studies.
