Job description

Building resilience into the UKs radar systems

This R&D team works at the forefront of radar systems development providing technical insights and know-how to improve resiliency in extremely challenging RF environments. They develop computational models capable of simulating not just a single system, but how multiple systems interact. They use these to explore new architectures and signal processing algorithms. They also model the effects of modern electronic warfare and develop countermeasures.

With demand for their expertise growing, this team is looking to add a new member. They are open to experience level, from recent PhDs through to industry veterans.

Requirements

• Experience developing system‑level models for radars and their interactions in busy RF environments using MATLAB, Simulink or Python.
• Good knowledge of signal processing algorithm development and validation.
• Experience with hardware‑in‑the‑loop development of radar systems.
• UK nationality as some work is defence related and requires UK security clearance.

Benefits

• Generous salary
• Strong pension contributions
• Catered lunches
• Social and leisure facilities
• Family‑friendly leave policies

This role is based fully onsite and will feature international travel to visit clients when required.
