Experienced Principal Systems Engineers, Radar Trials Analysis

We are seeking experienced 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). Successful applicants will have previous experience within a similar industry, and experience supporting engineering tests/trials and processing of large data sets.

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 defense solutions.
  • Contribute to System Verification & Validation (V&V) activities as part of the continuous development/enhancement of the Radar System.

Required Skillset:

  • Strong experience with MATLAB, particularly for use in analysis of large data sets.
  • Full V-model life cycle experience, with an emphasis on the middle to right side (implementation, integration, testing, and V&V).
  • Experience in safety-critical systems.
  • Understanding of radar or complex sensor systems would be beneficial.
