- Ideally you will have prior experience in one or more of the following areas: RF design, familiarity with radar, antenna design, Metamaterials, Microwave Frequency Spectroscopy or Plasma characterisation; although we will consider anyone able to show an academic foundation that serves as a good basis for developing in these areas
- You should have familiarity with at least one of the well-known computer simulation tools often used for electromagnetic modelling; for example, CST MWS, COMSOL, FEKO, Matlab; software coding experience may also be an advantage (e.g. Python)
- Any hands-on practical / laboratory skills would be a bonus
- A top top-level appreciation of how Survivability, Low Observability and RCS Design are interlinked
- Proven delivery of technical work packages and projects with successful technical work delivered both individually and as part of a team
