## About the Role

* Degree in a STEM subject (e.g. Electronics, Physics, Mathematics)
 * Experience developing FPGA-based systems (c.2+ years)
 * Experience with MATLAB/Simulink
 * Experience using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, logic analysers)

Desirable experience

 * Embedded systems or FPGA-based system integration
 * Knowledge of high-throughput data handling or signal processing
 * Experience within RF, EW, radar or related domains

Our non-negotiables

Due to the highly secure nature of the work, you must be:

 * A UK National
 * Eligible to obtain and maintain UK Government SC clearance (Gov.uk guidance)

## Description

* Exposure to how systems are used operationally
 * Closer interaction with domain specialists and end users
 * A clearer link between engineering decisions and real-world outcomes
*

You'll be working in an environment where EW capability is actively developed, tested and applied, not just specified.

This role does require a strong on-site presence. While there is some flexibility, the majority of your time will be spent in Lincoln or working alongside customers in the UK and internationally.

How you'll support us

You'll support the design, development and testing of FPGA-based systems within RF and signal processing chains.

Working alongside experienced engineers and domain specialists, you'll contribute to the delivery of high-performance, real-time systems.

You'll:

 * Implement FPGA designs for RF signal processing applications
 * Develop on RFSoC and FPGA platforms, integrating high-speed ADC/DAC interfaces
 * Work with VHDL, SystemVerilog and MATLAB/Simulink
 * Support lab-based integration, test and evaluation using RF instrumentation
 * Contribute to simulation, synthesis and implementation using tools such as Vivado and Quartus
 * Support embedded software development and system integration (C/C++)
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust technical solutions
