SC Clearance Required

We are seeking Systems Engineers to contribute to the continued development of an in-service radar system, by supporting the planning and analysis of radar trials (rig-based and flight trials).

Key Responsibilities

• Work with large datasets from rig and flight trials and use analytical techniques to evaluate radar performance against requirements and raise Systems Problem Reports (SPR) for detailed investigation.
• Apply signal processing, image processing, and object classification techniques to extract actionable insights.
• Investigate system anomalies using real trial data, ensuring performance meets specifications.
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to develop and prototype cutting-edge defence solutions.
• Contribute to System Verification & Validation (V&V) activities as part of the continuous development / enhancement of the Radar System.

Proven Ability / Key Skills

• Strong proven ability with MATLAB, particularly for use in analysis of large data sets.
• Full V-model lifecycle knowledge, with an emphasis on the middle to right side (implementation, integration, testing, and V&V).
• Previous proven ability within a similar industry and supporting engineering tests / trials and processing of large data sets.
• Proven ability in safety-critical systems.
• Understanding of radar or complex sensor systems would be beneficial.

Additional

Please note, due to the sensitive nature of the project involved all applicants must be capable of gaining a UK MOD Security Clearance to SC level.
