About our Team
The Joint Electronic Warfare Operational Support Unit (JEWOSU) is Air Force’s Electronic Warfare (EW) centre of excellence, providing EW and Airborne Countermeasures products to maintain the operational relevance of ADF fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, ships and submarines.
Reprogramming Support - Simulations Section produces RF simulation packages applicable to the Combat Electromagnetic Environment Simulations (CEESIM) Radio Frequency Stimulators for use in testing Electronic Warfare Libraries (EWL) of the Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and Electronic Support Measure (ESM) systems aboard various ADF Platforms.
Simulations Section provides specialist simulation, test and analysis support to Software Support Facilities (SSF) during testing, to ensure EWLs released by JEWOSU meet operational requirements.
Our Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will have good problem solving skills and be able to justify engineering decisions through formal documents. They will have base knowledge and experience in the EW field, will be familiar with the CEESIM stimulator and be capable of achieving two levels of engineering authority by demonstrating their grasp of CEESIM modelling at an engineering board.
