Farnborough, Hampshire, United Kingdom The Engineer Full time

This unique opportunity will offer the successful candidates the opportunity to work across the entire electromagnetic solution development process, assisting in the development and deployment of novel technology solutions: from material and circuit concept development and simulation, to fabrication, measurement and analysis of solutions. We currently have opportunities across our Farnborough and Malvern sites. If you're interested in joining us in providing world-class technical solutions to solve complex challenges in disciplines including the application of electromagnetic theory, material design & characterisation and RF measurement techniques. We would love to hear from you

If your skills fit one of our opportunities, we will be in contact. If we do not have a role that is right for you at the moment, we'll keep your CV on file for possible opportunities in the future.

RF specialists at QinetiQ use a combination of lab-based testing, numerical analysis and experimentation to understand and exploit the properties of radio waves. QinetiQ's activities extend across the full range of radio frequencies and signal strengths, ranging from the low-power radio waves typically used for navigation and communications systems through to defensive platforms that exploit high-power electromagnetic beams to disable electronics and explosive devices, or to disrupt fast-moving vehicles such as drones.

The work undertaken by the RF signatures team focusses on the control of electromagnetic propagation and scatter to manipulate the signatures of existing and future structures, providing benefits such as signature reduction to minimise interference with radar systems or to enhance or direct signals towards a specific target receiver. For example, one of the materials developed by the team has been successfully applied to wind turbines to reduce their signature by up to 99%, reducing the impact of their interference with weather radar systems. Services provided by the team include:

  • The interpretation and application of electromagnetic theory to aid the development of future materials and measurement capabilities.
  • The design, fabrication and evaluation of novel materials and devices for signature management.
  • The measurement and characterisation of RF signatures for a range of target sizes and specifications.

What is the scope of opportunities?

The group is experienced in the development and characterisation of innovative electromagnetic propagation and scattering control solutions across a number of different industries, both within the defence community and commercially, such as for renewable energy an successful applicants will be responsible for the delivery of our exciting and engaging technical projects alongside our existing UK-leading experts in RF/Microwave bands of the electromagnetic spectrum , using our exceptional range of RF measurement facilities to deliver novel, cutting edge technical solutions and products. The role will also offer opportunities to develop skills such as technical leadership, development and bidding of future project opportunities, and technical mentorship.
