• Process and interpret large experimental datasets using signal processing techniques, ideally with experience in MATLAB’s Signal Processing Toolbox.
• Collaborate with hardware teams and industry partners to design and conduct acoustic measurements in support of product development and validation.
• Track and report on technical progress and task budgets when acting as group lead on projects.
• Help maintain and grow the group’s technical infrastructure, supporting long-term capability development.
• Build subject matter expertise in underwater acoustics and DSP through mentorship from internal experts, with the aim of becoming a recognised specialist.
• Support cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders to develop and deliver a sustainable, forward-looking Test & Evaluation (T&E) capability combining real-world data and modelling.
• Establish strong working relationships with internal site managers to facilitate technical testing and analysis activities.

Skills and Experience

We’re looking for someone who brings a combination of technical expertise, innovation, and collaborative mindset:

Required:

• Strong background in acoustics, signal processing, or a related field.
• Experience in technical modelling and/or measurement in underwater or similar domains.
