ROLE: Staff Systems Applications Engineer
LOCATION: Newbury (On site)
The Opportunity
We're partnering with a global leader in advanced semiconductor technologies to recruit a Staff Field Applications Engineer focused on Aerospace, Defence, Radar, Electronic Warfare and Autonomous Systems.
This is a highly consultative, customer-facing position where you'll work directly with defence primes, emerging technology companies, and autonomy-focused organisations to shape next-generation system architectures.
Rather than focusing on individual components, you'll operate at the system level , helping customers integrate RF, communications, sensing, navigation and processing technologies into mission-critical platforms.
What You'll Be Doing
- Act as the primary technical advisor for Aerospace & Defence customers.
- Support system-level architecture discussions across advanced electronic systems.
- Guide customers from concept development through prototype and production deployment.
- Influence design decisions involving semiconductor, module and subsystem technologies.
- Work closely with engineering teams covering RF, microwave, MEMS, power management, embedded processing and software.
- Identify new opportunities within defence, autonomy and emerging technology programmes.
- Help customers accelerate development cycles and reduce technical risk.
- Provide feedback into product strategy and future technology roadmaps.
Technical Areas
You'll be involved in architectures including:
- RF signal chains operating from DC to 40GHz+
- Radar systems
- Electronic Warfare (EW)
- Software Defined Radio (SDR)
- Military communications
- Sensor fusion platforms
- Autonomous systems and drones
- MEMS inertial navigation systems
- GNSS and positioning technologies
- Power conversion and data acquisition systems
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or similar.
- Strong systems engineering background.
- Experience engaging directly with customers, end users or programme stakeholders.
- Understanding of semiconductor-based system solutions.
- Experience within Aerospace, Defence or related high-reliability sectors.
- UK National.
Experience In One Or More Of The Following
- Radar systems
- Electronic Warfare (EW)
- Software Defined Radio (SDR)
- Military communications
- RF and microwave systems
- Phased array or beamforming technologies
- Navigation systems, IMUs or GNSS
- Autonomous platforms and unmanned systems
Desirable
- Experience supporting defence primes or government programmes.
- Knowledge of RF architectures covering microwave and millimetre-wave technologies.
- Applications Engineering, Field Engineering or customer-facing technical experience.
- Familiarity with FPGA, high-speed data conversion or embedded processing technologies.
Why Apply?
- Influence next-generation defence and autonomous technologies.
- Work with cutting-edge RF, radar and communications systems.
- Engage with some of the most innovative programmes in the UK market.
- Operate at the architecture and system solution level.
- Join a globally recognised semiconductor technology leader.
Please note: Due to programme requirements, applicants must hold UK nationality and be eligible to work within the UK defence sector.
