BAE Cowes – Principal Systems Engineer – V06452 Rate: £81.05 per hour Umbrella Location: Cowes, PO31 8PF Length: 6 months initially Time onsite: TBC (usually 4 days per week) IR35 status: inside Role Description A highly experienced professional engineer with a depth and breadth of knowledge in Systems Engineering. Applies the principles of Systems Engineering to Radar system development across the entire engineering development lifecycle from requirement definition to system integration and customer acceptance into system support and disposal This role entail analysis of performance data collected from both modelled and real world systems, and development of a system or sub-system design to meet functional and performance goals. It provides lead technical support for the evolution of existing products extending their functionality to meet new and evolving requirements, and for development of entirely new Radar products Employs a depth and breadth of expertise relating to Systems Engineering to complex engineering problems, challenges, and issues associated with the domain. Designs and develops solutions and resolves engineering issues and problems for a range of products and engineering scenarios at the system or sub-system level, with interaction at the system of systems level Provides technical guidance to others relating to area of expertise. May have Design Authority, Technical Authority or Engineering Authority responsibilities. The role holder will: Develop novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues for complex phased array Radar Systems that our customers and end-user communities are facing Conduct system design analysis to manage trade-offs of principle system parameters in order to characterise and specify robust product design Demonstrate, with significant experience, detailed and comprehensive understanding of concepts and principles relating to Systems Engineering and supporting governance, and be able to apply knowledge to a wide range of engineering issues within own discipline and other engineering disciplines Apply and champion the Systems Engineering principles of ISO 15288 to the design and build of complex Radar systems through the entire engineering lifecycle from requirement definition to system integration and customer acceptance into system support and disposal Support a Radar Product System Design Authority in product engineering development signal processing, target track extraction, object classification algorithms, system and sensor resource optimisation An understanding of how the above techniques can be employed on contemporary real-world radio, satellite, radar or sonar systems A good understanding of factors that can affect the real world performance of sensing systems and how these can impact the accuracy and timeliness of measurements in order to meet challenging design objectives and requirements Experience of using a high level design methodology (e.g. UAF, NAF, TOGAF, SysML, UML) Experience of working with contemporary technologies and concepts e.g. MBE, MBSE, digital twins, autonomous systems, AR/VR, AI/ML, IoT, etc. Experience of mathematical simulation tools/languages (e.g. Mathworks MATLAB, Simulink, Perl, Python, MathCAD) Knowledge of the defence industry, including geopolitical influences and current UK government strategy. Requires an understanding of how activities of own teams interrelates and interacts with other functional areas aligned to the same discipline and project Understands in detail the technical specification aligned to the functional area of activity with an understanding of the external environment Will work primarily within the Systems Engineering discipline supporting assigned projects, however they will often need to work across other disciplines, sites and functions to support other engineering or business development tasks. Skills: Performs analysis, evaluation and resolution of complex engineering issues and specifications Develops innovative and creative solutions to challenging engineering problems and issues Is required to make judgements based on own knowledge
