Antenna Design Engineer
Are you an innovative engineer with a passion for cutting-edge RF and antenna technologies?
This is an exciting opportunity for an Antenna Design Engineer to join a forward-thinking team developing next-generation antenna systems for high-performance sensing and communications applications.
You'll work on challenging projects that combine advanced electromagnetic design, simulation, prototyping, and testing - helping shape the future of complex electronic systems.
The Opportunity
As part of a dedicated seeker and datalink systems team, you'll contribute to the design and development of novel antennas used in state-of-the-art multi-mode sensor systems.
Your work will involve everything from concept and modelling to prototype build, test, and transition into production, providing a rare opportunity to influence every stage of the product lifecycle.
You'll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams - including RF, systems, EO/IR and sensor specialists - while liaising with suppliers and presenting results to project stakeholders.
This is an ideal environment for engineers who thrive on technical challenge, innovation, and continuous learning.
What You'll Be Doing
Designing novel antenna systems for advanced sensors, exploiting the latest developments in additive layer manufacturing.
Developing solutions that meet demanding performance requirements in space-limited and harsh environments.
Conducting electromagnetic modelling using tools such as Ansys HFSS or CST Studio.
Performing complex antenna simulations, data analysis, and post-processing in MATLAB.
Supporting anechoic chamber testing and managing the transition of development hardware into pre-production.
Working cross-functionally with other engineering teams to deliver high-quality, integrated solutions.
What We're Looking For
Proven experience in antenna design and development.
Strong understanding of electromagnetic simulation tools (e.g. Ansys HFSS, CST Studio).
Knowledge of microwave frequencies, ideally UHF and frequencies beyond X-band.
Proficiency in MATLAB for simulation data analysis.
Degree or equivalent qualification in Electronic Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem solving.
What We Offer
Opportunities for flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
Excellent training and career development, supporting technical and leadership growth.
Access to state-of-the-art facilities, including on-site laboratories, test ranges, and simulation suites.
A comprehensive benefits package, including enhanced leave, flexible working hours, and generous pension contributions.
