Role Overview

Our Electronic Warfare Operations Support (EWOS) Group is made up of 60+ electronic warfare specialists. From all manner of backgrounds, our engineers, scientists and ex‑military personnel combine their experience to help our customers achieve their true operational potential and ultimately help keep their people and platforms safe. You will be working on‑site, embedded within our customer team, offering your expertise on Radio Frequency (RF) modelling and simulation, using ground‑break­ing science to support the UK’s front‑line defence. The role covers two main areas of modelling and analysis: the design, development and operation of software used to verify and validate EW systems across industry partners, and the development and analysis of models to assess novel EW techniques and effectiveness. Beyond these primary responsibilities, you may also be involved in other research, development, testing, analysis and validation activities across the air platform/mission survivability modelling and simulation domain. This unparalleled access through our customer will help accelerate your career as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), allowing you to develop specialist skills as your career progresses.
