Job description
System Design & Integration:
- Design and integrate autonomous systems with a focus on interoperability, ensuring seamless operation across diverse platforms and within established protocols, such as STANAG 4586 for UAS interoperability.
- Employ ROS2 for robotic system development, enabling flexible and efficient system integration.
- Utilize MATLAB and Simulink to develop and simulate control systems and algorithms, enhancing system performance and reliability.
Command and Control (C2) Integration:
- Implement TAK protocol (Cursor on Target) to enhance command and control integration, ensuring systems are fully operable within customer-centric environments.
- Develop solutions that prioritize customer needs and operational effectiveness, ensuring delivery matches strategic objectives.
Testing & Validation:
- Conduct Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing (HITL) to validate system functionality and performance in simulated conditions before full deployment.
- Implement Verification and Validation (V&V) models for rigorous systems engineering and quality assurance, ensuring compliance with industry standards and customer requirements.
Collaboration & Process Improvement:
- Engage in cross-functional collaboration with engineering, mission operations, and production teams to drive successful project outcomes and innovation.
- Support the establishment and enhancement of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to streamline development processes and improve system delivery timelines.
Requirements
Sc Clearance, Hil, Matlab, Simulink, * Solid understanding of ROS2, MATLAB, Simulink, and proficiency in using these tools for developing autonomous systems.
- Familiarity with TAK protocol (Cursor on Target) and STANAG 4586 standards for streamlined interoperability.
- Proven experience in HIL and HITL testing methodologies to ensure robust system validation.
- Knowledgeable in deploying V&V models for comprehensive systems engineering and QA practices.
- Experience in setting up and optimising CI/CD pipeline processes to facilitate modern software deployment techniques.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with a demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across diverse functional areas.
- Must be Eligible for SC Clearance
