## About the Role

You're likely be a PhD holder in electronics, physics or computer science and have significant skills and experience in the following areas:

 * Expert Python proficiency for data analysis and prototyping (NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch).
 * Demonstrable applied experience of digital signal processing (FFT, modulation, noise modelling, resampling).
 * Experience with SDR frameworks (GNU Radio, SDRangel, SoapySDR).
 * Understanding of RF hardware (antenna, filters, mixers) including baseband data.
 * Experience analysing wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, LTE, LoRa).

Due to the engineering aspects of projects, the ability to confidently use RF lab equipment (spectrum analysers, signal generators) would be desirable. Similarly, any exposure to embedded or real-time systems; MATLAB, C++ or Rust; or RF circuit fundamentals would be beneficial.
