Opportunities in Radar and Electronic Warfare

QinetiQ is growing - and it is a great time to be part of the community. As we enter new markets around the world, we need talented Scientists, Mathematicians and Engineers to join our Radar and Electronic Warfare teams. You will probably have experience with Radar, Signal Processing, Algorithm Development, but you may come from a background of Systems Engineering or Software Engineering/Development, but with a depth of knowledge about how to exploit the EM spectrum, particularly in RF.

You will be part of a business that was named the Most Admired Aerospace & Defence Company in the Britain’s Most Admired Companies 2021 study. You will also be joining a diverse, inclusive employer that is proud to provide a collaborative, open working environment. With our Adaptive approach, you will enjoy the work-life balance that suits you best, thanks to remote, hybrid and flexible working practices; but please bear in mind that, because of the nature of our business, fully remote working will not be an option.

We currently have opportunities in Radar and Electronic Warfare across our sites in Malvern and Portsmouth, but location may not be an issue if you have the skills and enthusiasm that we seek. If you are interested in joining us - now or in the future - we would love to hear from you.

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