Our world-leading Time & Frequency department seek an experienced and practicing Senior Scientist / Engineer.
You will be joining our team at an exciting time - we maintain the UK’s National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and are currently developing the UK's first resilient Time Scale facility that will underpin Digital Infrastructure in the UK. This will address the risks associated with our dependency on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (such as GPS) that are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.
As Senior Scientist / Engineer, you will join a multi-disciplinary team of Scientists and Engineers in our National Timing Centre to develop novel Time and Frequency systems within the UK. You'll enjoy a pivotal role in creating robust systems for time and frequency measurement, based on Atomic Clocks located at several UK sites.
Additionally, this role offers exciting opportunities to participate in other timing-related projects (e.g. with the European Space Agency).
Key responsibilities:
* Leading a team of Scientists and Engineers to deliver high-quality project outputs to time, quality and cost
* Design and implementation of hardware / software for state-of-the-art Time and Frequency measurement, systems including atomic clocks
* Collaborating with subject matter experts worldwide, to develop novel solutions
* Liaising with internal / external stakeholders to determine needs and tailor expert solutions
* Attendance of international conferences to keep abreast of the latest developments
