If you’re an expert in sensor systems processing, use your knowledge to help protect the country.
Dstl (the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) works to harness science and technology to maximise the defence and security of the UK, using the best people with the best ideas from around the world. As part of our Sensors and Countermeasures department’s world-class Advanced Signal Processing and Fusion Team, you will have the chance to use your expertise in sensor systems processing on the latest, cutting-edge defence research and procurement projects. You will join other highly skilled scientists and engineers and work closely with academia and industry partners; lead projects and teams; and tackle a broad range of activities, identifying gaps in capability and potential solutions. Your efforts will be vital to the successful procurement and through-life capability management of sensors for the dismounted soldier.
As Signal Processing & Fusion Technical Leader you will:
• provide the MoD and wider defence community with technical advice on the procurement of networked sensor systems at the physical layer and supporting algorithmic functionality for achieving a network-enabled capability
• draw together research on Sensor Systems Processing as part of a balanced MoD research programme
• apply your broad understanding of ISTAR and sensors to inform customers’ strategy
• give briefings to convey research findings
• drive technical excellence via technical reviews
• increase responsibility for the development of capability in the signal processing area, nurturing innovation and bringing new ideas.
To meet these challenges, you’ll need:
• a first or 2.1 degree (or equivalent) in Maths, Science, Operational Research, Engineering or other technical discipline. If you have relevant military experience in sensor system processing but no scientific qualification, your application will still be considered.
• knowledge of advanced signal and data processing in order to enhance the performance of sensors systems
• knowledge of multi-modal fusion/tracking algorithms and applications
• a proven track record of high quality delivery in the field of sensor systems processing
• excellent communication skills, with the ability to inspire, present, network and lead articulately
• the ability to work in a changing and challenging role.
It’s also important that you are a natural problem solver and innovative thinker, who’s willing to travel within the UK.
