An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Systems Performance Engineer to join a multidisciplinary engineering team working on the development of advanced defence technologies.

This role focuses on assessing and predicting system performance through mathematical modelling, simulation and technical analysis. You'll play a key role in helping engineering teams understand how design decisions influence overall system behaviour and performance throughout the product life cycle.

Working alongside specialists across aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance, navigation, control, sensors and systems engineering, you'll contribute to the development of highly complex products operating across air, land and maritime environments.

• Conduct technical studies to assess overall system performance.
• Develop and analyse mathematical models of complex engineering systems.
• Evaluate the impact of design changes on system behaviour and performance.
• Support requirements development, verification and certification activities.
• Perform simulation and modelling studies to assess performance against key indicators.
• Analyse and interpret large datasets generated through modelling activities.
• Work closely with subject matter experts across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Produce technical reports and present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to product verification, validation and ongoing capability development activities.

We're interested in speaking with candidates who can demonstrate experience in several of the following areas:

• Mathematical modelling of dynamic systems.
• Performance analysis and system behaviour assessment.
• Running and analysing complex simulations.
• Systems engineering activities.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Producing clear and concise technical documentation.
• Presenting technical information to a range of audiences.
• Working within multidisciplinary engineering environments.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be highly beneficial:

• Flight Dynamics
• Aerodynamics
• Propulsion Systems
• Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC)
• Control Systems
• Missile or Weapon Systems
• Performance Modelling
• Simulation & Modelling
• Verification & Validation
• Systems Architecture
• Dynamic System Analysis

Candidates should have experience with:

• MATLAB
• Simulink
• Mathematical Modelling Environments
• Data Analysis Tools

Experience with other simulation, modelling or systems engineering toolsets would also be advantageous.

• Salary up to £52,500
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Generous pension contribution
• Additional leave entitlement
• Overtime opportunities
• Career development within highly advanced engineering programmes
• Exposure to complex modelling, simulation and performance analysis challenges
• Opportunity to work alongside leading specialists across multiple engineering disciplines

If you're passionate about simulation, modelling, systems performance and solving complex engineering problems, we'd love to hear from you.
