Under Water Warfare Modeler

3 weeks ago

Halifax, Canada Weir Group Full time

Working out of the Department of National Defence (DND) Canadian Forces Maritime Warfare Centre (CFMWC) in Halifax NS, the Under Water Warfare (UWW) Modeller shall develop warfare simulations including detailed analyses of underwater engagements under various sets of conditions and various ship configurations. Through these Modelling and Simulation (M&S) studies, the UWW Modeller will be able to develop their knowledge and skills in the Design of Experiments (DoE) and learn how to come up with suitable Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) to assess performance when developing a study.

The UWW Modeller will:

- Become familiar with threat (hostile) torpedoes and threat UUVs and weapons and countermeasures used against torpedoes and UUVs;
- Increase knowledge on sonars and propagation of sound through water;
- Develop competency in Command and Control systems and their impact on the Detection to Engagement process;
- Develop familiarity with Defence Research and Development Center (DRDC) simulation models; and
- Develop competency in UWW.

UWW simulation constitutes a very large knowledge base to acquire and master. The UWW Modeller will take courses and undertake significant self-study. Knowledge would also be acquired over time through experience gained in M&S studies, M&S tool development and in discussion with DRDC experts. To excel in this position requires a long-term commitment to perform the study and work required to become an expert in the field of UWW simulation.

As the UWW Modeller acquires knowledge and skills, this individual will be called upon to engage in the following types of activities:

- Developing requirements for M&S studies in collaboration with customers;
- Setting up and running simulations on laptops and a computing cluster;
- Analyzing the output of these simulations to assess performance criteria of the simulated ships and systems;
- Producing and presenting reports of results;
- Updating or developing simulation models of ship’s sensors, weapons, and command & control systems;
- Updating or developing simulation models of threats, decoys, countermeasures;
- Developing new additions or modifications to analysis software;
- Assisting with the development of new software tools;
- Liaising with simulation software vendors to monitor and coordinate the improvement of their products;
- Liaising with simulation model suppliers, especially the DRDC institutions, to coordinate the testing of their models;
- Incorporating new models into simulation software and use them in studies to debug and improve the simulations;
- Providing knowledge and advice regarding the use of vendor products and DRDC models to other groups within the Canadian Forces Maritime Warfare Centre (CFMWC) and the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN);
- Articulating and presenting detailed technical arguments when necessary in a manner that is clear, logical and simple.

Interactions with Other Parties: There will be engagement with the DRDC institutions regarding the simulation of ships’ sensors, weapons and regarding the simulation of threats. There will also be participation in international meetings with our foreign partners. Currently many of these meetings are online, but there will be a requirement to travel and participate in meetings in foreign locations. These interactions with suppliers develop another basic engineering skill set: liaison with customers and suppliers. Such interactions are an essential part of engineering practice, so any and all opportunities to develop this skill set are valuable.
