- Provide technical authority across EW simulation, analysis and experimentation activities
- Translate operational EW concepts into validated modelling approaches
- Oversee experimental design, execution, and analysis
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to capability growth within the team
- Deliver structured simulation training programs for end-users
- Produce reports and supporting documentation that consolidate simulation outputs into clear recommendations and insights for stakeholders

- Strong background in modelling & simulation, including tools, frameworks, and synthetic environments
- Proven ability to lead technical teams and deliver complex defence projects
- Experience designing and analysing experiments and interpreting results
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
- Bachelors degree in engineering, science, or a related field
