Communications & EW Resilience Engineer

Southampton / Portsmouth - Hybrid / Remote

Help build the communications and navigation systems that keep long‑range autonomous aircraft flying - even under jamming, spoofing, and real‑world EW threats.

We're looking for a hands‑on engineer who can take ownership of the full comms chain, from radios and antennas to integration, testing, and flight‑proven performance.


What You'll Do

  • Build resilient GNSS and comms systems for autonomous UAVs
  • Integrate radios, antennas, and multi‑path links (RF, SATCOM, 4G)
  • Mitigate jamming/spoofing and improve EW resilience
  • Lead lab, ground, and flight testing - including controlled EW trials
  • Track real‑world EW tactics and apply them to system design

What You Bring

  • STEM degree (2:1+)
  • Experience delivering comms or EW‑resilient systems
  • Strong RF, GNSS, and system‑integration skills
  • Practical experience with radios, antennas, C/C++ or Python
  • Delivery‑focused mindset and ability to own multi‑domain problems
