Overview of department:
We are looking for a modeller to produce models of the seeker RF Radar. The model includes the seeker hardware, digital processing and target environment. The modelling team is responsible for developing the model, producing auto-code, generating seeker performance predictions and interfacing the seeker model into the missile dynamic reference model.

Responsibilities (to include):

Modelling in Matlab and Simulink using model-based design techniques
Producing parts of a complex Seeker model including modelling the target scenario, seeker hardware and processor algorithms
Develop and implement algorithms within the model
Producing and verifying auto-code for the software algorithms from the model
Carrying out seeker performance assessment
Validating model components against real world data and writing up results.
Producing a simpler representation of the model for use in the missile model
Upgrading legacy Seeker models to newer MATLAB/Simulink Vectors
Documenting the model changes and creating test vectors
Due to the sensitive nature of the work it is predominantly done onsite but there is some flexibility depending on project.
Skillset / experience required:
Tools:

Simulink
Matlab
Skills:

Modelling for auto-coding
Assessing suitability of algorithms in the model
Validating models
Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model (desirable)
Familiarity with Radar and Control Systems (desirable)
Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing (desirable)
RF experience (desirable)
Experience in C (not essential)
Technical report writing
Model delivery experience
Ability to work as part of a fast paced team
