Overview
Come and join our expanding Electronic Warfare Operations Support Group (EWOS) which 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 the true operational potential and help keep their people and platforms safe. We are continuing to grow our team at Porton Down, Salisbury, working on key state-of-the-art research, development, and delivery projects, led by our technical customer, Dstl. The primary role is to support test and development of RF Receiver hardware in various environments including laboratory, ground-based field trials, airborne trials and synthetic environment testing. This will require using a range of different RF equipment to cover direct inject testing, free-space testing and chamber testing, including field trials of RF receiver equipment in the UK and abroad. The role will require technical autonomy, liaising with military stakeholders, academia, industry and international partners, to assess the performance of receiver hardware, developing improvements, and providing advice. A secondary focus will be on implementation and testing of real-time algorithms deployed to Radio Frequency System on Chip (RFSoC) boards, within a larger laboratory setup. Additionally, the role will enable you to design said algorithms, working with various technical stakeholders to derive and capture requirements, ensuring constraints and limitations are understood prior to deployment. Given the scale of the main project this role will work on, there are opportunities to work on all stages of the engineering lifecycle, including trials support both in the UK and internationally. You will have the prospect to develop into a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on RF Sensing and Electronics and their use in modern EW applications. Algorithm deployment will also involve an assessment of where on the RFSoC board certain computations should be performed (Application Processing Units, FPGA, or off-board distributed computing), with the role allowing for specialism and knowledge to be gained in these areas. Working autonomously with unprecedented access to the customer, you will be crucial to ensure the success of these key projects, all whilst being supported by our on-site and home-site MASS teams.
