Proficient in scripting and programming (Python, C++, or embedded C). Experience with system-level requirements, integration, and validation. ## Description This is genuinely a role that doesn't arise often. Due to market growth we are looking for a Systems Engineer to collaborate with and support the R&D team, creating new futuristic RF technologies and improving existing technology. This group has a start-up feel within the Airbus world. You will be bridging the gap between clients and Engineers (hardware, software, signal processing, and end applications). Treading the fine line of bringing clever ideas and dreams into reality whilst keeping the fast-paced projects on track and the team grounded. There will be very fluid dynamic projects, hard and fast deadlines and the ability to contribute to the ever changing global situation. You'll play a key role in developing and deploying SDR solutions, from requirements gathering to final delivery. Focusing on systems-level thinking, integration, RF chain performance, and real-time communication protocols, collaborating with cross-functional teams to build resilient, flexible, and mission-critical systems. How you will contribute to the team... Liaise with Domain Experts and Customers to define user requirements, enabling the management and maintenance of system architecture and system models relating to SDR-based platforms. Integrate and validate RF front-ends, FPGAs, and real-time software stacks. Conduct performance analysis and trade studies for modulation, coding, and protocol layers.
