You’ll use your RF and radar expertise to develop specialist communications and radar payloads for clients ranging from innovative start‑ups and scale‑ups to Tier 1 defence and aerospace companies.
You’ll help create new capabilities across air defence, counter‑uncrewed aerial systems (CUAS), non‑standard communications and space situational awareness.

- Strong fundamentals in radar design and development, with hands‑on experience, building, and debugging radar circuits and systems.
- A 1st or 2:1 Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- A creative, hands‑on approach to problem solving.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to support and work with an interdisciplinary team.
