Key Responsibility Areas

To design and develop EW antenna installations for future stealthy air vehicles.

Skills, Qualifications & Knowledge

• A good first degree in electronics or communications engineering, physics or a closely related subject, preferably with RF/microwave options. Possibly an MSc / PhD / EngD with a microwave bias.
• Ideally some significant experience in the field of stealth engineering. This skill set is not taught in the UK and so a professional with relevant experience is sort.
• Ideally some experience of antenna design is also of significant benefit.
• Microwave EM simulation using tools such as CST Microwave Studio / FEKO or other FDTD / MoM codes is essential.
• Experience and skilled use of RF/Microwave testing techniques and test equipment (e.g. VNAs, Antenna Range Measurements).
• Good leadership, interpersonal and presentational skills.
• Proven ability to interact at professional levels with multinational working teams is a bonus.

Working to tight deadlines either on a regular or ad hoc basis will be required. Driving is also essential.
