Mathematical Modeller

A mathematical modeller is required with UK aerospace and/or defence experience to work on a long term contract assignment based in Stevenage.

Lethality is critical in determining the capability of our products and ensuring we achieve target destruction with limited collateral damage. Lethality encompasses many aspects of the missile but focuses on the warhead and fuzing subsystems.

The main contributing factors are:
. Guidance accuracy
. Target proximity detection
. Warhead detonation optimisation

Key Tools and skills required:
. Mathematical modelling
. MATLAB
. Algorithm design

The Role
