Qualifications and experience

Your CV will show your strong relevant degree and supporting qualifications, and additional experience, likely commercial, or through a master's degree and/or PhD. In addition, your experience will include several of:

• Digital electronics design, schematics capture and PCB layout
• FPGA design, RTL development in VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog
• DSP, signal processing and/or related algorithms
• Analogue electronics, which may include work with sensors, RF or microwave EM
• Network protocols design and communications generally
• Embedded software in C, C++ and/or Rust

It is likely you will have collaborated with other engineers and scientists on past projects. Any additional experience in Python, C#, MATLAB or other software systems is a plus. Some projects may involve security clearance, hence you will need to be a British citizen with 5+ years' UK residence.
