RF communication systems
Job Description:
Leonardo are looking for skilled individuals to join their Systems Engineering Function to work on a large-scale EW integration programme. We are seeking engineers to help us analyse, model and simulate radio frequency (RF) signals and the effects of system and environmental influences.
As a member of our team, you will have the ability to hold Design Authority level of competency and lead the design, integration, and testing of advanced RF systems for vehicle platform integration.
Candidates with a broad range of Systems Engineering Lifecycle expertise working in the Defence industry, coupled with Electronic Attack and/or Electronic Surveillance domain knowledge should apply.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibility Areas
What you will do:
Your primary responsibility will be to provide expertise in RF systems engineering and signal processing for electronic warfare subsystems. Key subsystems include transmit and receive antennas, high power RF amplifiers, electronic receivers, and waveform generators.
Your role will include the derivation of EA/ES sub-system requirements and the technical liaison with sub-contractors on Statement of Work deliverables and acceptance criteria for inclusion in the overall programmes compliance matrix.
You will apply your knowledge of RF communications systems to generate realistic models and simulations of threat systems and apply these models to quantify the effectiveness of electronic attack and or surveillance concepts and designs against such threats in operational environments.
