Join a leading defence organisation developing cutting-edge algorithms for advanced Radio Frequency (RF) seeker systems. We're looking for an Algorithms Engineer with strong experience in MATLAB, data analysis, and RF systems to help shape the next generation of sensor technology.

You’ll be working across high-impact projects like Meteor and FC/ASW, contributing to the development of Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) and multi-mode seekers. This role involves end-to-end algorithm design, modelling, and performance analysis – with real scope for innovation using machine learning and AI methods.

Key Requirements:

  • Proven experience in algorithm development

  • Strong proficiency in MATLAB (Simulink is a bonus)

  • Understanding of RF systems and digital signal processing

  • Analytical mindset with data-led decision-making

  • Eligible for UK Security Clearance (British Citizen or Dual National)

    This is a hybrid role, typically requiring 4 days on-site per week, with a salary of £45,000 - £57,000 plus bonus, flexi-leave, and excellent pension and benefits.

    Please note that due to the nature of the client’s business, only candidates who currently hold full British Citizenship (without limitations) / Dual Nationality (inclusive of British Citizenship) will be considered.

    If you’re ready to apply your skills to real-world defence technology and work on some of the most advanced systems in the industry, we’d like to hear from you
