Job Description

What’s the opportunityApplications are invited for an Navigation Algorithm Design engineer at MBDA UK Ltd. MBDA is the first truly integrated defence company in Europe and the only European one able to provide missiles and missile systems for each branch of the armed forces, whether in the air, at sea or on land. MBDA’s range of technologies and products consolidates the Group’s world-leading position in the industry.The successful candidate will work with a team of engineers to develop and evaluate navigation algorithms for fast-moving and challenging projects. In particular, the work will involve researching, testing and evaluating algorithms that integrate into a wider complex weapon solution. Strong programming skills are required including Matlab, with a minimum good Degree with a strong mathematical content and previous demonstrable programming, real-time implementation, validation & verification and navigation experience. Relevant experience (ideally Post-Doctaral or industrial), with the state-of-the-arts navigation algorithms, comparative evaluation and testing is a strong advantage.The Navigation Engineer will become a key member of a dynamic team working within the Guidance, Control and Navigation (GCN) function. The GCN function has responsibilities for algorithm development and proving in the following domains:

  • IIR and RF image and signal processing for target acquisition and tracking
  • Data fusion
  • Terminal and Homing Guidance
  • Mid-Course guidance
  • Autopilots and control systems
  • Propulsion control
  • Integrated Navigation, including GPS integration and Terrain Referenced Navigation
  • Command and Control
  • Mission Planning algorithmsThese algorithms are central to MBDA guided weapon systems products. Algorithms are developed at many stages of the lifecycle of the product including:
  • Research studies, both externally and internally funded, to investigate algorithms for future developments
  • Algorithms to support initial missile feasibility and concept studies
  • Algorithms in support of assessment and development programmesNavigation engineers are involved in all stages of the lifecycle and play a key role in many of our product developments.This is a specialist Navigation engineering role, within the GCN function, that can be within a team with no significant budget or management responsibilities, to full responsibility for small teams and task packages.
    • What will you be doing
  • You will be responsible for development of specific algorithms or studies to support key programmes within MBDA.
  • Responsibilities can include concept studies, algorithm design and trade-off studies, trials preparation, trials analysis and reporting, architecture definition, algorithm and model validation.
  • You will be autonomous and will be able to act as a point of contact for GCN’s interactions with the other project teams e.g. Simulation and Modelling, Software, Hardware-in-the Loop, Systems Design & Validation and Technical Quality.
  • You will perform technical analyses and investigations into a full range of issues and problems and prepare and develop solutions either individually or as a member of a project team.
  • You will engage with the algorithm users, understand and respond to their needs and ensure that the algorithms are fit for their intended use.
    • What’s great about joining this team
  • GCN Teams have a central role in the concept definition and development of our products.
  • GCN Teams work across all MBDA UK products, giving depth of experience and opportunity to all team members.
  • You will be joining a hard-working and team with a successful track record in achieving project milestones on time and on budget.
  • A stimulating environment and rewarding opportunities.
  • GCN engineers are generally co-located in function, allowing a good team spirit and functional identity.
  • Frequent exposure to high-profile, fast-paced projects.
  • We are continuously improving to bring benefits to the programmes we are involved in. This includes algorithmic approach, processes, methods and toolsets, each of which brings a variety of specific challenges to solve in order to fully exploit new benefits across a wide range of programmes.
    • What we are looking for from you
  • Either PhD qualified and with relevant industrial experience
  • A minimum good Degree with a strong mathematical content e.g. Aerospace Engineering, Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics
  • Relevant experience of Navigation algorithm design.
  • Ideally will have knowledge and experience of some of the following:
  • Inertial Navigation
  • Aided Navigation techniques, for example but not limited to,
  • Global Navigation Satellite Systems
  • Terrain Referenced Navigation
  • Image Based Navigation
  • Radar and LADAR imaging
  • Opportunistic Navigation / Signals of Opportunity
  • Data fusion techniques
  • Kalman filters
  • Non-linear filtering
  • Ideally will have knowledge and experience of the following:
  • The MathWorks products – specifically Simulink, Embedded MATLAB and Stateflow
  • Model Based Design
  • Configuration management
  • Requirement Management e.g. DOORS and Rhapsody
  • C, FORTRAN and Ada
  • In addition you will:
  • be autonomous and pro-active and be capable of working on your own initiative with a minimum of supervision, as well as within an algorithm development team working transversally with other functions
  • have an understanding of and an ability to work within defined processes
  • have the ability to visualize and analyse complex systems
  • have good verbal, presentation and written communication skills
  • have practical knowledge of basic systems engineering principles and processes
  • be able to work with engineering teams, including in-house and contractor personnel
  • have good understanding of, and good working experience in all phases of the engineering life cycle
