Offer description

Job description : We are proud to be partnering with an *industry-leading technology company* at the forefront of *space connectivity and advanced wireless systems*.

Our client develops groundbreaking software and algorithms that power satellite and aerospace communication networks, helping to connect land, sea, air, and space like never before. With deep roots in innovation and collaborations with global research centers, they are reshaping the future of how the world communicates.


Opportunity

We are looking for a highly skilled *Wireless Communications Engineer* to join this pioneering team.

In this role, you’ll apply your deep understanding of *wireless communication theory, signal processing, and mathematics* to design and develop *next-generation algorithms* that improve performance across complex, high-speed networks.

You’ll work closely with software engineers, system architects, and researchers to transform theory into real‑world technology supporting everything from *multi‑antenna (MIMO) systems* to *Non‑Terrestrial Networks (NTN)* that connect satellites and aircraft.


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 *Wireless communications theory (MIMO, beamforming, channel estimation, RRM)*.
* Proficiency in *Linear algebra and matrix theory* (SVD, eigenvalue problems, etc.).
* Background in *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 SiSNA, Aerial SDK, or QuaDRiGa*.
* Knowledge of *5G NR, LTE, Wi‑Fi, or DVB‑S2X* standards.
* Familiarity with *optimization methods*, convex optimization, or machine learning 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.


Diversity & Inclusion*

Our client is proud to be an *Equal Opportunity Employer*. They celebrate diversity and are committed to building an inclusive environment for all employees. Applications are encouraged from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.


Qualifications (duplicate)

* Experience with *MATLAB, Python (NumPy / SciPy), NVIDIA SiSNA, Aerial SDK, or QuaDRiGa*.
* Knowledge of *5G NR, LTE, Wi‑Fi, or DVB‑S2X* standards.

Why is This a Great Opportunity: Work on *world-changing technology* at the frontier of wireless and space systems.
