Job Description

Building resilience into the UKs radar systemsCambridge; to c£75,000 + Benefits
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 are looking to add a new member. They are open to experience level, from recent PhDs through to industry veteran.

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.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing business and get involved in interesting and challenging work whilst learning from expert colleagues and helping to keep the country safe. On offer are a generous salary, strong pension contributions, catered lunches, social and leisure facilities, and family-friendly leave policies. This role is based fully onsite and will features international travel to visit clients when required.
