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
