Our Electronic Warfare Operations Support (EWOS) Group is made up of 60+ electronic warfare specialists. From all manner of backgrounds, our engineers, scientists and ex-military personnel combine their experience to help our customers achieve their true operational potential and ultimately help keep their people and platforms safe.
How you’ll support us
Working on-site, embedded within our customer team, you will be offering your expertise on Radio Frequency (RF) modelling and simulation, using ground-breaking science to support the UK’s front-line defence.
There are two main areas of modelling and analysis which the role will be working on. First, the continued design, development, and operation of software used to verify and validate EW systems across industry partners. The second area of model development and analysis is used to assess novel EW techniques and their effectiveness, with outputs being used to plan future trials.
Whilst the two areas specified above will be the immediate priority work, beyond this there are lots of opportunity to be involved in other research, development, testing, analysis, and validation activities across the air platform/mission survivability modelling and simulation domain.
This unparalleled access through our customer will help accelerate you as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), allowing you to branch into specialisms as your career progresses.
The invaluable experience you’ll bring, to help us achieve more
Working within the Air countermeasure team you will have access to a variety of projects, covering modelling & simulation in software, synthetic, and real-world environments.
Your understanding of radar processing, operation, and doctrine will help to generate verified models that inform concept development and assessment.
Experience in a related field is valued greatly!
Essential:
* Degree level or equivalent in a Science or Engineering discipline (e.g. Maths, Physics or Engineering).
* Knowledge of model and simulations techniques to real-world scenarios.
* Experience in the development of models and tools in order to provide evidence data (MATLAB, Python, or C++).
* Providing analysis and writing reports from the outputs of simulation runs.
Desirable:
* Digital signal processing techniques used in EW systems.
* RF domain knowledge and/or RF modelling experience (e.g. RF environments, RF Threat system understanding, RF countermeasure development).
* Experience verifying and validated software (unit and system levels).
* Experience in running simulations, developing and running models on a Linux Operating System and common Linux tools (BASH, PERL).
* Knowledge of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of EW capability within the Air domain.
* Knowledge of version/source control software (Git, Bitbucket).
* Interest in cutting-edge technologies.
Our non-negotiables:
* Due to the highly secure environment that our work is conducted in, you must be a UK National, eligible to work and live in the UK and be eligible to undergo and maintain appropriate UK government SC Security Clearance.
