If you enjoy solving complex RF problems and want to see your work deployed in real-world defence systems, this is worth a look.
 
You’ll be working on advanced RF communication systems, the kind that sit right at the heart of modern defence platforms. Not theory for theory’s sake, but engineering that gets used.
 
You’ll be involved across the full lifecycle, from early concept and modelling through to integration, testing and production. It’s varied, technical, and properly hands-on.
 
What makes this interesting:
  • Real system-level ownership, not just a small slice of the puzzle
  • Work across RF, signal processing, modelling and systems design
  • Exposure to high-performance, complex defence systems
  • A team that blends experienced engineers with genuine technical depth
  • Flexible working, strong benefits, and long-term career development
You might be:
  • An RF Engineer looking to move into systems
  • A Systems Engineer wanting to deepen RF knowledge
  • A Modelling or Signal Processing Engineer interested in real-world application
Key experience includes:
  • RF or microwave systems
  • Systems engineering, requirements, or design
  • Signal processing, modelling, or waveform design
  • Integration, testing, or product lifecycle work
You’ll need to hold current British citizenship and be eligible for UK security clearance.
 
If you want to work on something technically challenging, meaningful, and genuinely impactful, this is one of those roles.
