Location: Hertfordshire
Salary: Up to £52,500 + Excellent Benefits
Working Pattern: On-site Position
Security Requirements: UK Nationals Only
The Opportunity
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 lifecycle.
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.
Key Responsibilities
- 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.
