The Opportunity:

We have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our Electro-Optical (EO) Seekers & Sensors Department within our Synthetic Scene Generation Team, working as a Scene Generation Modelling Engineer.

As a team we are responsible for supporting MBDA's complex weapon programmes, working with our Customers and Suppliers towards developing and integrating the next generation EO missile seekers.

And this is where you come inIf you are the successful applicant, we will offer you the exciting challenge of developing real-world simulations and modelling tools to support our product development.

We use a variety of different software development and modelling tools, alongside ongoing support to you and hands on training to get you up to speed as quick as possible.

However, we are working to broaden our toolset, to adapt to the future programme needs;joining the team now offers the chance for you to tackle a new tool and start to learn it together, with the rest of the team, and taking the lead on it should you want.

Our team is a small, multi-disciplinary team that support a range of scene generation activities, from synthetic scene creation, through to hardware testing and validation via experimentation and field trials.

Whilst your role focusses on the software aspects,you will always have the opportunity to develop your skills, knowledge and experience in the broader team activities,and any additional knowledge and previous experience that you bring with you will certainly make a huge impact

What we're looking for from you: Someone who is enthusiastic about using software packages to model real world environments. We value the need to be adaptable in using different tools to create different features and effects, as well as being creative to work around a problem, finding innovativesolutions to keep us on track.

The role is technically focussed, so will require you to have a good working-level knowledge in how to run modelling packages, with some coding experience also desirable.

Noting again that we would expect to provide you with training on our specific toolsets.

In addition to the technical aspects of the role, we are also looking for you to value commitment and integrity in delivering on time - as well as to cost and quality - so experience in, or a good appreciation of task package management is also highly desirable.

We work across different projects and departments, and so value strong team spirit, and communication skills.
