Systems Performance Modelling Engineer

Guidant Global has partnered with a world-renowned leader in defence and missile technology, a trusted collaborator of the UK's Ministry of Defence. They are seeking a skilled Systems Modelling Engineer to develop models of the seeker RF Radar. This role involves creating models that encompass the seeker hardware, digital processing, and target environment. The modelling team will be responsible for developing the model, producing auto-code, generating seeker performance predictions, and integrating the seeker model with the missile dynamic reference model.



What we're looking for:



Essential Tools:



MATLAB

Simulink

Multi-skilled team



Skills:



The ideal candidate should have experience in modelling for auto-coding.

Assessing the suitability of algorithms in the Model

Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model (desirable)

Understanding with Radar and Control Systems (desirable)

Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing (desirable)

RF and Model delivery experience (desirable)

Technical report writing

Capability to work as part of a fast-paced team



What you'll get to do as a Systems Modelling Engineer:



The role involves utilising model-based design techniques to perform modelling in MATLAB and Simulink. The individual will be responsible for modelling parts of a complex seeker system, including the target scenario, seeker hardware, and processor algorithms. This includes developing and implementing algorithms within the model, producing and verifying auto-code for the software algorithms derived from the model, and carrying out seeker performance assessments. Additionally, the role requires creating a simplified model for the missile and optionally updating the legacy Seeker model in Statemate. Documenting the model changes and creating test vectors are also key responsibilities.
