Our client is 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

• 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
• Opportunity to develop and implement algorithms within the model
• Producing and verifying auto-code for the software algorithms from the model
• Carrying out seeker performance assessment
• Producing a simpler representation of the model for use in the missile model
• Optionally updating the legacy Seeker model in Statemate
• Documenting the model changes and creating test vectors

Proven Ability / Key Skills

• Simulink
• Matlab
• Modelling for auto-coding
• Algorithm development
• Aptitude for converting an algorithm into a Simulink model
• Familiarity with Radar and Control Systems (desirable)
• Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing (desirable)
• RF knowledge (desirable)
• Technical report writing
• Model delivery proven ability

Additional

• Please note, due to the sensitive nature of the project involved all applicants must be capable of gaining a UK MOD Security Clearance to SC level.
• Due to the sensitive nature of the work it is predominantly done onsite but there is some flexibility depending on project.
