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 strong mathematical and engineering mind-set with an innovative approach to problem solving that can be applied to resolving complex technical and system level requirements
• Extensive experience of mathematical simulation tools/languages (e.g. Mathworks MATLAB, Simulink, Pearl, Python, MathCAD)
• Understands engineering principles and approaches underpinning design and development activities and be capable of systems thinking, applying holistic approaches to complex problems
• Experience of working with large scale complex system designs
• Confident presenting both technical and non-technical information in a formal setting

Qualifications:

• Be a BEng/BSc in Computer Science or other relevant Engineering or Numerate subject (technology, engineering, or science related discipline).
• Achieved or working towards 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:

• Conduct mathematical modelling and simulation development devising and evolving algorithmic and design solutions to meet system capability and performance requirements of complex radar systems
• Develop, maintain and evolve high-fidelity, high-integrity, high-complexity mathematical models and performance simulations of technical solutions for such systems
• Utilise mathematical modelling and simulation to identify and develop performance enhancements and novel solutions to improve existing radar product capability and evolve future associated technologies
• Support multi-disciplined engineering teams in the realisation, implementation, verification and validation of algorithmic and design solutions for deployable radar systems
• Utilise mathematical modelling and simulation to create performance predictions of radar systems in various operational scenarios
• Conduct system performance analysis and design trade-offs of principle system parameters in order to characterise and define system design constraints and limitations
• Contribute to definition of verification and validation acceptance strategies to demonstrate adherence of modelled algorithmic and design solutions to system and performance requirements across a wide range of operational scenarios
• Undertake system performance analysis of integration and post trials data to inform radar system design solutions, and to generate customer acceptance evidence

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.
