Senior Engineer - Hardware in the Loop

Job TitleSenior engineer, in our Hardware-in-the-Loop Team.Overview of departmentWe are looking for ambitious engineers with a growth mind-set to join our team. If you are the right person for us, you will seek a supportive environment, surrounded by passionate experts while being a part of a collaborative and driven team. The Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) team conduct the most complete test of missiles other than a firing and are our Missile test track. We design complex, real-time simulations that surround real missile hardware to allow us to ‘fire missiles indoors’.ResponsibilitiesAs a HWIL engineer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining new and existing RF equipment and working with multi-disciplinary teams to combine RF, electronics engineering and software development to produce new capabilities that enable HWIL to run new simulations – Produce new RF targets for missiles to track, simulated ECM. testing, root cause analysis, design, development, integration.You will be able to adapt to new engineering situations and be comfortable in abstracting detail in order to understand the simulation and missile’s behaviour.Skillset requiredEssential:• Radio Frequency design or testing• System performance analysis• Interface debugging and system integration• System design for real-time applicationsDesirable:• Software design requirements• Familiarity with Linux operating system• Familiarity with computer science (C++ an advantage)• Integration of microcontrollers in RF hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi)
