This role is part of Saab BlueBear in Bedfordshire.
You will work as part of the Air Combat Simulation team supporting customers in the modelling and simulation of aircraft and associated systems, including the development and V&V of models and analysis tools.
Key Responsibilities:
Work collaboratively as an integral part of a small team delivering a customer focused task-based modelling and simulation support service.
Develop Requirements from initial customer brief.
Build models and analysis tools to meet the customer requirements.
Update, debug and V&V of models and simulation tools.
Analyse results from model integration and simulation development to provide understanding of the component models performance and their interactions.
Develop and maintain tools for the translation of data files between formats in use within the community.
Develop Simulink models of aircraft and aerospace systems and auto-code to C/C++ and dll.
Integrate Models (Simulink and dll) into System-of-Systems models.
Undertake simulation development, testing and application with results analysis to provide understanding of component models and their interactions.
Develop and test models for integration into Distributed Simulations.
Extend the Distributed Simulation capabilities and functionality.
Sanity checking model performance and simulation results through cross-checking with other sources of information and engineering estimates.
Validation and Verification of model performance and simulation results against requirements.
Review documentation for accurate technical content and quality to ensure it meets the required high standards.
Investigate modelling and simulation tools to support new customer requirements.
Generate documentation (User Guides, Interface Control Documents, Delivery Notes, Verification and Validation reports) for models, simulations and applications developed by the team at an appropriate level for the expected end user’s technical ability.
Report on technical issues encountered with 3rd party provided models and simulations covering the issues, significance and potential resolutions.
Qualifications and Skills:
UK National Required.
Degree Educated - Engineering degree in relevant subject.
Matlab and Simulink (and Stateflow), Auto-coding to C/C++ and DLL
Programming languages (Preferably C++, C#, Delphi)
Flight Dynamics and aircraft performance modelling
Pilot modelling
