The opportunity:
Navigation sensors are a critical technology for missile systems and therefore the team has frequent exposure to high-profile, fast-paced projects with rewarding opportunities. The team is very closely linked with the navigation sensors team in MBDA France with associated travel opportunities.
You will carry out specification and assessment of navigation sensors including GNSS receivers, anti-jam units and inertial measurement units. You will monitor supplier and technology roadmaps to identify cutting edge technology for investment, support sub assembly and equipment assessment trials, and undertake research activities as part of an international team.
This role offers you the opportunity to be part of a successful team working to develop new and innovative solutions to address complex customer requirements, develop expertise in navigation sensors, take on a key role in several multi-national research programmes, as well as the chance to challenge yourself technically.
What we're looking for from you:
An experienced defence or aerospace engineer, with a degree in electronic engineering, physics, or similar
Technical knowledge in navigation systems, avionics, or RF engineering
Project management, delivery, and commercial awareness highly desirable
Modelling skills including proficiency with tools such as MATLAB and/or Simulink would be advantageous
The ability to gain an understanding of the following:
A detailed understanding of all aspects of GNSS functionality, multi-constellation technology and system integration
Detailed knowledge of receivers, anti-jam and CRPA's
GNSS system chain performance & integration challenges
GNSS jamming and spoofing experience
Inertial sensor specification and characterisation
