Modelling and simulation engineer

Role: Modelling and Simulation Engineering Contract Length: 01 April 2024 - July 2025 Rate: Attractive Day Rate - Umbrella - Inside IR35 Location: Farnborough, GU14 0LX Project Description Role Summary: The FCAS-AP team within Catalyst DT will be primarily responsible for delivering next generation air vehicles, including 6th Generation, (crewed and potentially un-crewed) to undertake Control of the Air duties; and contribute to Attack and Information, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) replacing the capability currently provided by Typhoon (which will begin to retire from service from the mid-2030 #39;s). A critical enabler to this responsibility will be the growth of the DI modelling and simulation (M S) team. 3 SMEs are required to compliment and grow the current DI M S team in support of the growing demands placed on them by the FCAS programme. The role will be to undertake M S tasks in order to provide the Delivery and Release Manager (DRM) with expertise in developing Threat Models. These models will span across Parametric and Analytic fidelities and applying them in a Synthetic Environment to deliver releasable (international) Threat Data in support of FCAS OA and ITEA activities. Responsibilities Outputs As directed by the DRM the role will develop fit-for-purpose threat data models in support of the FCAS Programme #39;s OA through to Integrated Test, Evaluation and Acceptance (ITEA) activities. The M S activities will generate models representative of threat systems directed and prioritised by the DRM including but not limited to: Sensors Signatures Weapon Electronic Attack and Defence Command Control (C2) Aircraft Performance Integrated Weapons SystemsEssential skills and knowledge Suitably Qualified and/or Experienced Personnel are required with the ability to articulate technical knowledge in some or all of the following: Sensors, air and surface RADAR, passive sensors, IRST, RWR, IFF, navigation Signatures IR, RF Weapons, air and surface AAM, ASM, SAM, DEW Electronic attack defence, air and surface Jammers, ESM/DAS, DIRCM, chaff, flare C2, air and surface Datalink, C2, mission data fusion C2, air and surface Datalink, C2, mission data fusion Aircraft Fighter, Strike, ISTAR, UAS, Tanker Integrated weapon system e.g. red air flight or SAM laydown SAM Kill Chain, EOB, TTPs Computer Aided Design Interpretation of modelling requirements, CAD related modelling services MATLAB Simulink SolidworksDesirable skills and knowledge. 2+ years #39; experience of Parametric/Analytical modelling 2+ years #39; experience of defence related systems engineering 2+ years #39; experience of defence related systems analysis Experience and proven history of CAD related activity Experience in QA processes 5+Years Defence Technical Experience Degree Qualified in a Physics/Engineering based subjectSecurity Clearance needed: UK National with SC Clearance.
