## Description

An experienced Professional Engineer applying Systems Engineering principles to radar system development across the full lifecycle, from requirements definition and design through integration, acceptance, support, and disposal. The role involves analysing performance data from modelled and real-world systems to develop system and sub-system solutions meeting functional and performance objectives . It provides technical leadership in evolving existing radar products and developing new capabilities. The role resolves complex engineering challenges at system and sub-system level, with engagement at the system of systems level.

Core Duties:

 * Develop novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues for complex Radar Systems that our customers and end-user communities are facing
 * Conduct system design analysis to manage trade-offs of principle system parameters in order to characterise and specify robust product design
 * Apply and champion the Systems Engineering principles of ISO 15288 to the design and build of complex Radar systems through the entire engineering lifecycle from requirement definition to system integration and customer acceptance into system support and disposal
 * Demonstrate the decomposition of requirements to system and sub-system level and manage these in an approved toolset such as IBM DOORS Next, and create and/or facilitate production of associated design requirement specifications
 * Direct and undertake system design decomposition and architectural modelling to subsystem level, including associated external and internal interface definition & manage architectural models in an approved toolset such as CATIA Magic (Cameo) or Enterprise Architect
