This programme has been designed to support people who have had a career break or are trying to transfer their skills into a new sector or one they used to work in. We know that any gap in work experience or a move away from a sector or skill set makes it very hard to return or join through standard recruitment channels.

The roles in this programme tend to run on a 12 week work placement with a view to securing a permanent role at the end of that period. Although it’s not guaranteed, 96% of our candidates who join the programme go on to secure permanent roles with their host organisation.

As a candidate working with STEM Returners you have access to free CV writing and Interview coaching and if you are successful in securing the role you’ll get access to coaching and mentoring programme to help you thrive in the role.

If you meet the criteria for this role but are unsure if you are eligible for the programme, we encourage you to make an application.

Skills and Experience:

• A mathematical and engineering mind-set with an innovative approach to problem solving that can be applied to resolving complex technical and system level requirements
• Understanding of signal processing, tracking or classification algorithms and techniques employed on contemporary radio, satellite, radar or sonar real-world systems
• Experience of mathematical simulation tools/languages (e.g. Mathworks MATLAB, Simulink, Pearl, Python, MathCAD)
• Experience of working with large scale complex system designs

Qualifications:

• Be a BEng/BSc in Computer Science or other relevant Engineering or Numerate subject (technology, engineering, or science related discipline).
• Prior or desire to achieve Chartered Mathematician/Engineer status and/or a relevant professional accreditation e.g. IMA MIMA or CMath; IET MIET CEng; INCOSE UK ASEP or CSEP certification

What the Returning Professional will be getting involved with their first 12 weeks and beyond:

• Mathematical modelling and simulation development devising and evolving algorithmic and design solutions to meet system capability and performance requirements of complex radar systems
• Development and evolution of high-fidelity, high-integrity, high-complexity mathematical models and performance simulations of technical solutions for such systems
• Undertake mathematical modelling and simulation to identify and develop performance enhancements and novel solutions to improve existing radar product capability and evolve future associated technologies
• Undertake development of novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues that our customer community are facing
• Facilitate support to multi-disciplined engineering teams in the realisation, implementation, verification, and validation of algorithmic and design solutions for deployable radar systems
• Facilitate, analyse and underwrite system performance predictions, design constraints, design trade-offs, and principle system parameter specification for radar systems in various operational scenarios

Location:

• Cowes

Working Pattern:

• Full and part time can be considered, but will need to be on-site when working

Benefits: 

You’ll receive benefits including a competitive pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance and a Company contributed Share Incentive Plan. You’ll also have access to additional benefits such as flexible working, an employee assistance programme and Cycle2work and employee discounts.

Security Clearance requirements:

Eligibility for SC level security clearance is required – To be eligible for clearance you need to be a British National and have lived in the UK for the past 5 years with no breaks. Other Nationalities may also be considered, but 5 + years living in the UK is essential.
