Antenna Electromagnetic Engineer

We're not just imagining tomorrow - we are creating it. From advanced defence technology to innovative developments, we aim to empower and protect lives. Join us as an Antenna Electromagnetic Engineer at our Farnborough site, where you will have the opportunity to work with innovative technology alongside some of the most talented minds.

As an Antenna Electromagnetic Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and modelling antennas and electromagnetic systems that support both defence and commercial applications, helping to advance innovative technologies and programmes.

You will be part of the Electromagnetics Group within the Advanced Materials and Devices team. You will support technical projects, manage your own workload, contribute to work packages, and participate in ongoing projects across defence and commercial portfolios. While you will work independently on day-to-day tasks, cooperation with the wider team is an important part of the role.

• Support the development of novel antennas and related systems for civil and defence applications

• Participate in electromagnetic (EM) modelling of complex EM interactions on internal and external programmes

• Provide advice to internal and external customers on EM modelling and design

• Support delivery of key programmes relating to antennas, communications, and sensing systems

• Contribute to bid development and technical proposals

• Work cooperatively across teams to deliver holistic solutions

• Interest in metamaterials and antenna functionality; practical RF exposure is a bonus

• Familiarity with CST / HFSS or willingness to develop skills in modelling and simulation tools

• Some understanding of PCB or circuit board integration, or experience working alongside those who do

• Comfortable organising your own workload and supporting others in the team

• Able to work independently while contributing effectively in a cooperative group

• Degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

• Knowledge of contemporary antenna theory

• Understanding of electromagnetic metamaterials and modelling

• Awareness of EM measurement techniques

We value difference and lack a fixed idea regarding background or education. If you can demonstrate the required experience and willingness to learn, we would like to hear from you.

Our Farnborough site features state-of-the-art facilities, including high-energy laser technologies, a 5m pressurised wind tunnel, and large R&D projects. You will join talented teams of engineers, IT & cyber specialists, and project managers contributing to future defence solutions in the UK.

This is an exciting time to be part of an organisation expanding into new markets. We value innovation and encourage taking on a variety of cooperative projects, providing opportunities to work across disciplines and realise your full potential.
