Opportunity
We’re looking for a highly skilled Wireless Communications Engineer to join this pioneering team.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Designing and developing algorithms for channel estimation, prediction, and radio resource management (RRM).
* Applying advanced mathematical and signal‑processing techniques (linear algebra, probability, matrix theory, etc.) to optimize wireless networks.
* Translating complex theory into practical, implementable engineering solutions.
* Working with teams to integrate your algorithms into real‑time software and simulation frameworks (3GPP, O‑RAN, SON, RIC, SMO, etc.).
* Creating clear, detailed technical documentation and sharing your findings through reports, visualizations, or presentations.
* Optionally contributing to simulation frameworks, standards work (3GPP, IEEE, IETF), or research publications.
What We’re Looking For
* MSc or PhD in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
* Strong knowledge of:
o Wireless communication theory (MIMO, beamforming, channel estimation, RRM)
o Linear algebra and matrix theory (SVD, eigenvalue problems, etc.)
o Probability theory and signal‑processing
* Experience applying these principles to real‑world systems (e.g., RAN, silicon, or aerospace networks).
* Analytical mindset with excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Bonus Points For
* Experience with MATLAB, Python (NumPy/SciPy), NVIDIA Sionna, AerialSDK, or QuaDRiGa.
* Knowledge of 5G NR, LTE, WiFi, or DVB‑S2X standards.
* Familiarity with optimization methods, convex optimisation, or ML for wireless communications.
* Programming in C++, Go, Python, Java, or Rust.
* Background in AI/ML signal‑processing, neural networks, or GPU‑based frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, CUDA).
* Research publications or patents in wireless communications.
What’s on Offer
* Work on world‑changing technology at the frontier of wireless and space systems.
* Collaborate with top‑tier engineers and researchers in an international environment.
* Enjoy hybrid and remote working options within the UK.
* Receive a competitive salary, pension, health insurance, and equity opportunities.
* Be part of a mission‑driven team shaping the future of global connectivity.
Eligibility
* Must have the right to work in the UK.
* Fully remote within the UK, with flexibility for collaboration days.
