Responsibilities:
- Developing and maintaining new and existing RF equipment.
- Working with multi-disciplinary teams to combine RF, electronics engineering and software development to produce new capabilities that enable HWIL to run new simulations.
- Producing new RF targets for missiles to track, simulated ECM testing, root cause analysis, design, development, integration.
- Adapting to new engineering situations and being comfortable in abstracting detail in order to understand the simulation and missile's behaviour.
Skillset/experience required:
- Broad engineering experience with deeper experience in some of the following skill areas:
- Radio Frequency design or testing.
- System performance analysis.
- Interface debugging and system integration.
- Software design requirements.
- System design for real-time applications.
- Familiarity with Linux operating system.
- Familiarity with computer science (C++ an advantage).
- Integration of microcontrollers in RF hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi).
