SENIOR COUNTERMEASURE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER – ST NEOTS (PE19)

• 25 days annual leave, inclusive of up to 3 days December shut-down
• Buy or sell up to 5 days’ annual leave
• Two pension schemes to choose from
• Private medical & dental Insurance + discounts for additional family members
• Life Assurance scheme up to 4 x salary
• Multiple save schemes
• Electric/hybrid car leasing scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Retail discounts
• Continuous professional & personal development support
• Annual Wellness Allowance
  Forming part of our Electronic Warfare Support Group (EWOS), our Countermeasure Development team provide technical advice and support to our customers relating to countermeasure development, engineering support and delivery, as well as supporting internal initiatives relating to innovation and research, projects, training and bid delivery.
  You will have an opportunity to develop our in-house countermeasure simulation software tool, CounterWorX®, modelling physical interactions and phenomena across dynamic simulations. This opportunity will also expose you to working with our software development team, and the assurance process all releasable software products must follow.
  The team are based across two MASS sites (head office, Enterprise House, in Little Paxton, and our modern Lincoln offices on Teal Park). When project classifications allow, they tend to work three days in the office and two days from home, giving you the best of both worlds: flexibility and collaboration.

THE INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE YOU’LL BRING, TO HELP US ACHIEVE MORE

Core to this role will be your detailed understanding of Physics/Mathematical principles at degree-level, as well as experience with at least one of Electro-Optics (EO), Infra-Red (IR), or Radio Frequency (RF) sensors and systems, within a defence setting.
The role will allow you to analyse, design, model (MATLAB/Python/Simulink), and verify countermeasure techniques across a variety of real-world scenarios, culminating in delivery to customers for use in operation.
Your experience developing either deterministic, stochastic, or exploratory models will help optimise countermeasure parameters for best performance against specific threats. Additionally, your ability to capture modelling requirements and ensure delivery against these will be crucial.

ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE

• Experience using programming software (MATLAB/Simulink/Python etc.).
• Allocation of work packages/tasks to junior team members.
• Experience in at least two stages of model development (Design, Build, Integration, Test, Deployment etc.).
• Understanding of modelling techniques (stochastic, deterministic, exploratory etc.).
• Generation of simulation requirements, configuration and analysis reports.

DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE

• Experience modelling/programming RF/EOIR countermeasure techniques (platform protection).
• Experience line managing a team.
• Knowledge of either mathematics or physics involved in Radar, Electro-Optics or Infra-Red system operation.
• Interest in new technologies and their application within an EW domain.
• Mentoring and coaching junior team members.
• Experience optimising model performance.
