Job Description:

Position for engineers specialized in Modelling of Weapon Aiming & Control Calculation and Sensor Data Integration and Management has arisen within Airbus Defence & Space. The person will be working in Getafe with Spanish contract.

Project Overview, Tasks & Accountabilities

This role will be focus on system architecture, functional modelling, and physics-based performance definition of airborne weapon systems and targeting algorithms.

This person will be part of a team that will design and define the behaviour of the weapon and targeting system prior to software implementation. The output of this work will serve as the requirements and foundation for the software simulation team to implement within a simulator environment.

The main tasks will be:

  • Model the behaviour and architecture of airborne weapon systems from an engineering perspective.

  • Design and development of mathematical and physical models for subsystems (sensors, weapon,..)

  • Develop and validate aiming algorithms (Ballistic, guided, predictive, stabilized aiming)

  • Specification of system functions, expected behaviours, performance constraints and interfaces.

  • Analyse targeting accuracy, reaction time, error propagation and engagement logic

  • Produce documentation as input for the downstream software team.

  • Collaborate with simulation software engineers to ensure consistency and harmonization with respect to the customer expectations.

Required skills

  • Knowledge about Aircraft combat basics and symbology

  • Experience in physical and functional modelling of airborne or embedded systems. (Background in dynamics, kinematics and ballistics modelling is desirable).

  • Knowledge about system architecture, platform dynamics, mission symbology.

  • Ability to define documentation as (System Requirement, System Functional Requirement, System Specification, Interface Control Document, Testing Procedures,..)

  • Experience developing targeting, aiming and compensation algorithms is desirable ( EO/IR, radar, laser).

  • Previous experience in airborne platform is a strong asset.

General Requirements

Bachelor or Master Degree in:

  • Aerospace Engineering

  • Mathematics

  • System Engineering

  • Physics or related field.

English proficiency written and spoken

Teamwork oriented, with the ability to operate within multi-disciplinary environments

Valuable Experience

Work experience in defence platform or tactical simulation projects.

Knowledge of aeronautical and military standard and compliance processes

Experience with airborne sensors (EO/IR, radar, laser designators, etc..)

Tools knowledge valuables

  • MATLAB MathWorks / Simulink /Sensor Fusion

  • Python
