How you’ll support us:

Working primarily on-site with the wider project team, you will be creating leading edge solutions to problems never worked on before; offering your data analytical and modelling expertise to be used in the subject of Electro Optics (EO) and their effect on the modelling of weapons systems - a project that is using ground-breaking science to support the UK's front-line defence. The role will have access to state-of-the-art software models deployed into a high-fidelity simulated environment, with outputs being used in operation. Your ability to produce robust models and assess their performance within scenarios will be crucial.

• Hands-on experience, either through an advanced degree or working in industry, of any of the following:

• Electro-Optic sensor systems, image processing or missile systems.
• Developing or using synthetic models of sensors, image processing techniques or air vehicle dynamics.
• Verification, validation and test of systems or synthetic environments.
• Experience in using MATLAB and Simulink.
• Track record of independently generating technical plans and effectively communicating your work via reports/presentations.

• EO domain knowledge and/or EO modelling experience (e.g. EO environments, EO Threat system understanding, EO countermeasure development).
