About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Work with clients and end users to understand operational needs, constraints and measures of success
- Translate needs into requirements, concepts of operation, system architectures and development plans
- Support development and integration of autonomy functions, including interfaces with platforms, sensors, effectors, communications and mission systems
- Develop, adapt or assess algorithms and software for guidance, navigation, control, planning, decision-making, perception and human-autonomy teaming
- Use modelling, simulation, digital engineering, software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop approaches to explore performance and reduce technical risk
- Plan and support integration, verification, validation, trials and test activities, producing clear evidence and traceability
- Identify technical, safety, security, regulatory and programme risks and help select proportionate mitigations
- Communicate complex technical issues to specialist and non-specialist stakeholders
- Contribute to bids, client relationships and Frazer-Nash capability growth in autonomous systems
- Connect appropriate specialists across disciplines and recognise when another person is better placed to lead an activity
