A new opportunity is available for a Senior Signal Processing Engineer to join a dynamic development team working on high-impact RF signal intelligence systems. This role focuses on algorithm development within a rapidly growing niche sector, contributing to next-generation capabilities in real-time signal detection, classification, and threat identification.

The role will focus on designing, optimising, and deploying advanced signal processing techniques into embedded platforms, working with technologies such as Software Defined Radios (SDR), FPGAs, DSPs, and GPUs. It involves deep collaboration with engineers across embedded systems, software, and product development teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Research and develop cutting-edge signal processing methods to detect and characterise signals in the RF spectrum
  • Design and implement algorithms for embedded deployment on SDR, FPGA, DSP, and GPU platforms
  • Build simulation tools to support the training, testing, and validation of new algorithmic models
  • Analyse complex time-series, frequency, and spatial datasets to extract actionable intelligence
  • Provide technical leadership in the areas of algorithm design, system modelling, and mathematical formulation
  • Integrate signal processing models into scalable, real-world production systems
  • Optimise algorithms for performance, efficiency, and hardware constraints
  • Document code and maintain a structured repository to support ongoing development and versioning

Skills and Experience Required

  • Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Minimum 5 years' experience in algorithm design, DSP, or signal intelligence
  • Strong experience in real-time signal processing, RF analysis, or Electronic Warfare applications
  • Proficiency in building high-performance algorithms that process sensor and RF data
  • Practical knowledge of time-series analysis, spectral decomposition, sensor fusion, or statistical modelling
  • Ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and communicate technical concepts clearly
  • Experience working in Linux environments and using modern development tools

Desirable Attributes

  • Familiarity with SDR platforms and spectrum analysis techniques
  • Experience with simulation frameworks and modelling environments
  • Exposure to RF communications, radar, or EW-related systems
  • Self-motivated, curious, and passionate about applying complex theory to real-world challenges
  • Comfortable mentoring team members and advocating for algorithmic best practices
  • A mindset geared toward continuous learning, experimentation, and technical excellence

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in an R&D-rich environment and wants to play a direct role in shaping signal processing capabilities used in real-time defence applications.
