We need skilled, enthusiastic and motivated people at all experience levels from graduate to CTO to deliver these exciting new capabilities. There are opportunities in all relevant engineering and non-engineering disciplines, both for those with space industry experience and those without.

Many roles come with opportunities for remote / hybrid working, working in our offices in Guildford and Great Baddow only when required.

We will provide you with personal development, CPD including support towards professional recognition, industry-leading benefits, and the opportunity to apply cutting-edge technology to interesting problems with the support of our highly-skilled engineering community.

Come and join us for this exciting opportunity to shape and deliver world-class space technologies.

What you will be doing (role duties and responsibilities)

You will lead the development of cutting-edge radio and communication technologies for our new space-based systems. Making use of your extensive experience in communications, waveforms and/or SDR, you will design this critical part of our new system, selecting the right techniques and principles to deliver highly-performant systems that delight our customers.

You will lead teams of highly-skilled scientists and engineers, designing radio systems for both space and ground environments on our world-class SDR platforms. We design and deliver high-performance radio and data processing systems, generating the most interesting and complex electronics design challenges. Whether its the most sensitive radio receivers, designing for very low SWaP environments or designing highly complex DSP algorithms, we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver. Recognised as the expert and point of contact for radio and communications systems, you will maintain deep understanding of relevant technologies, producing innovative solutions to complex engineering problems.

You will be responsible for developing and implementing the technology strategy within your area of expertise, providing technical support to business development activities and providing expert review within your area of expertise across the enterprise.

• Comprehensive understanding of radio communication systems and concepts
• Proven track record of successfully delivering high quality radio solutions
• Experience in digital signal processing techniques and the ability to design processing architecture relating to communications and signal processing systems
• Experience in the use of software and FPGA development tools and environments
• Working knowledge of one or more programming languages, preferably C, Unix programming and fluent in MATLAB
• Comfortable working on multiple projects at the same time and in a dynamic environment where deadlines and priorities are changeable.

Desirable:

• Have a good knowledge of communications protocols e.g. ECSS and CCSDS standards relating to space data links and navigation
• A keen interest in the space sector and awareness of latest industry developments
• Experience of developing for space applications
• Experience of working within multi-disciplinary development teams in a project-based environment
