• Appreciation of RF Systems (Low frequency to Terrahertz).
• Digital signal processing (GPP, DSP and/or FPGA).
• Radio communications systems and protocols (including waveform design).

Any of the following skills would be complimentary not essential:

• Comfortable working on multiple projects at the same time and in a dynamic environment where deadlines and priorities are changeable.
• Proven record of designing and delivering real-world systems.
• Technically rigorous approach, typically backed up by a strong academic background.
• Practical experience of delivering solutions to real world problems.
• Familiarity with a R&D environment either commercial or academic.
• Familiar with commercial modelling and simulation tools.
• Working knowledge of one or more software languages (including MATLAB, C, C++, Python, VHDL, Simulink).

We would urge applications from those with partial coverage of the skills listed.

About BAE Systems Digital Intelligence

Digital Intelligence is home to 4,000 world -class data, digital, cyber and intelligence experts within the BAE Systems Group. We work collaboratively to deliver digital expertise to our customers, partners and colleagues across the Group. Working in partnership with us, organisations including governments, nation states, armed forces and commercial businesses can unlock their digital advantage and tackle the evolving challenges of the digital age.

Division overview: C5ISR

Future battles will be fought across multiple domains simultaneously; they will be driven by data derived from sensors on crewed and un-crewed platforms operating in all domains; decision involving many variables will need to be made in milliseconds, to deliver integrated effects.

Combined, our pedigree, domain knowledge and investment in C2 systems, C4I networks, CEMA and ISR, uniquely places us to solve our customer\'s multi-domain integration problems:

• Pervasive, full spectrum, multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)
• Multi-Domain Command & Control, Communications and Computers (C4)
• Secure and sustain advantage in the sub-threshold
• Asymmetric hard power
• Freedom of Access and Manoeuvre (FOAM)
