• Collaborate cross-functionally to influence firmware, hardware, and software design based on RF findings
• Generate detailed reports and documentation for internal decisions and external communications
• Manage and utilise high-performance compute infrastructure for modelling activities
• Degree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
• Deep understanding of electromagnetics and antenna theory
• Proven experience in numerical modelling of EM fields
• Hands-on background in electronically steerable phased array antennas
• Majority remote – flexible working with limited on-site requirements
• Work on innovative, real-world satellite communications systems
