System modelling is an indispensable tool used to ensure MBDA provides robust, reliable and cost efficient weapon systems to our customers.
Through the programme you will learn how to create simulation software in programming languages/environments such as:
MathWorks MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow
FORTRAN
C/C++
How to create software in a team using team collaboration tools
Training:By the end of this 4 year programme, you'll have achieved a BSc (Hons) in Digital and Technology Solutions at Cranfield MK:U. The programme contains one virtual study day per week with the University and the remainder of the working week is spent in rotational placements around the Simulation & Modelling departments.
As a model developer you will often encounter new and exciting challenges.
You will work closely with other departments and companies to integrate subsystem models and design data. From these interactions you'll gain a broad understanding of each subsystem that makes up the weapon, and how the system architecture integrates the subsystems to provide an overall capability.Training Outcome:Through regular one to ones, development plans and the use of Mentors, you will have the opportunity to shape your career within the organisation. We have many senior members in the organisation that started life as an MBDA apprentice.
