You'll have the flexibility, once fully embedded (and with DV) to figure out your own schedule, making sure core hours are covered by you and your team. There is a bias towards working onsite - due to the nature of the work - but there will be occasions where this can also be flexed.

Working primarily on-site with the wider project team, you will be creating leading edge solutions to problems never worked on before; offering your data analytical and modelling expertise to be used in the subject of Electro Optics (EO) and their effect on the modelling of weapons systems - a project that is using ground-breaking science to support the UK's front-line Defence.

We’re hoping you have hands-on experience within this field.

Essential:

  • Degree level or equivalent in a Science or Engineering discipline (e.g. Mathematics, Physics or Software Engineering).
  • Hands-on experience, either through an advanced degree or working in industry, of any of the following:
  • Electro-Optic sensor systems, image processing or missile systems.
  • Developing or using synthetic models of sensors, image processing techniques or air vehicle dynamics.
  • Verification, validation and test of systems or synthetic environments.
  • Experience in using MATLAB and Simulink.
  • Track record of independently generating technical plans and effectively communicating your work via reports/presentations.

Desirable:

  • EO domain knowledge and/or EO modelling experience (e.g. EO environments, EO Threat system understanding, EO countermeasure development).
  • Experience in software engineering.
  • Experience using C++.
  • Ability to learn quickly extant programming languages.
  • Good understanding of the physics behind sensors, dynamics, optics and lasers.

  • Candidates will need to be UK Nationals, eligible to work and live in the UK and to undergo and maintain appropriate UK government DV Security Clearance. (
  • Full UK Driving Licence.
