Job Description

Your impact

Are you a Systems Engineer who loves contributing to the UKs Defence Industry and making impactful change? We are recruiting for a number of Systems Engineering roles up to Principal level from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets, working on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products. We have vacancies at both our Southampton and Basildon sites.

Our Systems Engineers span across 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.

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
• Activities covering all aspects of the Systems “V” diagram, including concepts, field trials and deployment
• Developing cutting edge SW to counter threats to the platform from projectiles and drones autonomously
• Mentoring and Coaching of other Engineers

Projects and area’s we work in range for applications within Naval, Land and Air. Technology includes

• Communications and Force Protection
• Countering the rapidly evolving threat of drones posed to the UK and our allies
• Working with the Prime Systems Integrator designing the future of Platform Protection Systems
• Communications and messaging systems
• Development of future seeker demonstrators and production systems
• Seeker concepting and early life development
• Electronic Warfare and Vetronics
• Sensors and effectors integration including Radars, Cyber, Electro-Optic, ESM, Jammers, Directed Energy and Ballistic
• Precision Guidance working on Seeker and tracking algorithms
• EO/IR systems

What You’ll Bring

Proven experience as a Systems Engineer within a working environment or advanced academic research experience is a must. Ideally, you will have a science-based Honours degree or equivalent 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.

Domain specialisms include;

• Digital signal processing
• RF systems
• Electro-optic systems
• Computer vision image processing (e.g. segmentation, clustering)
• Multi-sensor data fusion and tracking
• Real time data simulation/generation
• Data analysis using AI or Machine Learning
• Operational Experience in Electronic Intelligence or Electronic Warfare

We are particularly interested in speaking to you if you have experience in any of the following areas;

• Problem definition
• Systems Architecture
• Synthetic Environments
• Performance Modelling
• Verification and Validation
• System of Systems

This is not an exhaustive list, and we are keen to hear…
