You will be joining our team at an exciting time - we maintain the UK’s National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and are currently developing a that will underpin our Critical National Infrastructure. This will address the risks associated with our dependency on global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS) that are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.As Senior Scientist / Engineer, you will join a multi-disciplinary team of Scientists and Engineers in our to develop new Time and Frequency infrastructure within the UK. You'll enjoy a pivotal role in creating robust systems for ground- and satellite-based Time and Frequency dissemination, based on Atomic Clocks located at several UK sites.
This will include testing and implementation of:
Satellite communication Optical fibre, and GNSS-based and monitoring subsystemsKey responsibilities:
Leading a team of System Engineers and Scientists to deliver high-quality projects to time, quality and cost Design and implementation of hardware and software for satellite communication, optical fibre and GNSS-based time and frequency transfer techniques for comparing distant atomic clocks Developing novel time dissemination systems, equipment and applications to support UK sovereign and industry needs Collaborating with wider teams to innovate high-specification solutions Interacting with internal and external stakeholders to determine their needs and meet their expectations Excitingly, this role offers opportunities to partner with external organisations and work from multiple sites within the UK. About You We believe that diversity and unique perspectives are key to the success of our science projects. For this role, we particularly encourage applications from candidates underrepresented in STEM disciplines, in particular women, disabled, black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates.
Reporting to a Principle Scientist, you’ll play a pivotal role in the design of critical UK infrastructure that pushes the boundaries of measurement accuracy for the UK’s new resilient Time Scale.
To be successful in this role, you will have the following skills, experience, and qualifications:
