My client, a world leader in the defence sector, requires an Antenna Design Engineer to join their team and work on the development of advanced antennas for next- weapon systems.
Antenna Design Engineer
As an Antenna Design Engineer, you'll engage in computer modelling, prototype build and test, collaborating with suppliers, presenting results to project stakeholders etc. You will work on cutting-edge antenna technology, focusing on intricate designs with tight deadlines.
The Antenna Design Engineer will be involved in:
Detailed design of novel antennas for multi-mode seekers based on wideband active and passive sensors, exploiting the latest development in additive layer manufacturing.
Developing solutions to support higher level product developments considering constraints such as limited space and harsh operating environments.
Electromagnetic modelling in Ansys HFSS, complex simulations of antenna structures and post-processing data using MATLAB.
Anechoic chamber testing and overseeing the transition of development hardware into pre-production parts.
Working cross-functionally with RF Engineers, Seeker Systems teams, EO & IR Sensors teams among others.
To be considered for this role, applicants will need to be qualified with a degree, or higher-level, qualification, combined with previous antenna design and development experience. You will have Electromagnetic Simulation knowledge using tools such as Ansys HFSS or CST Studio, as well as knowledge of microwave frequencies (ideally UHF and frequencies in excess of X-band). You will also need strong abilities in the use of MATLAB
