• Facilities: Fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals, free car parking and much more…

The opportunity:

Our department has responsibility for model development and maintenance in the following domains:

• Management of performance models and studies
• Mathematical modelling of high performance, dynamic systems (including sub system components and system environment)
• Verification and validation

Models include initial feasibility and concept proving studies, design development and trade-off studies, ground testing (including hardware testing and trials programmes), and post-trials analysis for detailed trial evaluation. Simulation & Modelling engineers in our team develop aspects of the performance model to support key programmes within MBDA including their design, implementation, test, reviews and supporting documentation as well as maintaining appropriate design records, ensuring compliance with appropriate quality standards.

We ensure integration and verification of model components from external suppliers and perform technical analyses and investigations into a full range of issues and problems, preparing and developing solutions either individually or as a member of a project team. We engage with the model users, understand and respond to their needs and ensure that the model is fit for its intended use.

What are we're looking for?

• A good understanding of simulation environments (e.g. MATLAB and Simulink, or similar) and programming languages (e.g. FORTRAN, C/C++).
• Understanding of change and configuration control processes is considered an advantage (e.g. Rational Team Concert).
• Ability to identify and solve sophisticated problems and gather the information needed to drive through to ultimate solutions.
• Ability to visualise and analyse complex systems.
• Practical knowledge of basic systems engineering principles and processes.
