Edinburgh – SA
Your Role
The S&T6 Sonar Signal Processing specialist will take a key role in defining and leading a sonar signal and information processing research program for Anti-Submarine Warfare. You will work as part of a team to identify, develop and prototype enhanced algorithms, operator decision aids and sonar performance analysis tools for in-service and future sonar systems. You will assess the future, anticipate priorities and develop long-term plans for your work area to achieve results, including taking an active role in shaping the multi-sensor signal and information processing research program for the Remote Undersea Surveillance STaR Shot. You will work with external partners, both nationally and internationally, to leverage research in detection, classification, and data fusion to deliver impact to Defence through improved undersea situational awareness.
Our Team
The Sonar Technology and Systems branch of Maritime Division works closely with the ADF to provide support to in-service and future sonar systems and conducts world leading research and development of undersea sensors, sonar system processing and displays, and capability analysis for Anti-Submarine Warfare in the challenging ocean environment.
As part of the Undersea Sensing Systems and Experimentation group, you will work with a team of motivated engineers, scientists and technicians to provide advice, performance analysis and enhanced sonar sensing capability for in-service and future ADF sonar systems. The group possesses the ability to prototype sonar processing techniques via specialised high fidelity sonar signal time-series modelling tools, through to the capability to conduct experimentation to test concepts at-sea.
Our Ideal Candidate
You will have a strong history of scientific achievement in the development and application of novel sonar signal processing techniques to simulated and experimental data. You will be highly motivated and able to work under limited direction to solve complex scientific problems, and will draw upon new and existing knowledge to produce enhanced capability within the field of sonar signal processing. You will have demonstrated experience in collaboration with academia and international partners and a track record of delivering and reporting high quality scientific achievements. You will communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing and will provide mentorship to junior staff within the Sonar Technology and Systems Branch to help them to develop knowledge and experience in sonar signal processing techniques.
