RF Data Scientist / Research Engineer
£60,000 - 60,000
High Street, Audley End
£60,000 - 60,000
Requirements
Must:
- Strong Python skills for data analysis and prototyping (e.g. NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, PyTorch, scikit-learn)
- Excellent understanding of digital signal processing techniques including FFTs, resampling, modulation, and filtering
- Hands-on experience working with SDR platforms such as bladeRF, USRP, HackRF, or similar
- Practical knowledge of RF hardware chains (e.g. antennas, ADCs, filters, mixers, gain stages, LO, AGC) and how these impact signal data
- Experience building RF signal characterisation and diagnostics tools, e.g. constellation tracking, time-frequency plots, autocorrelation analysis
- Familiarity with tools such as GNU Radio, SDRangel, SoapySDR, ZMQ
- Understanding of wireless protocols and physical-layer signal structures (e.g. Wi-Fi, LTE, LoRa)
- Ability to design machine learning or statistical models for signal classification, anomaly detection or emitter identification
- MUST be eligible for SC Clearance due to the nature of the work
Responsibilities
- Analyse complex IQ data from SDR hardware in real-world RF environments
- Build signal processing pipelines that work within hardware and software constraints
- Develop tools to visualise and diagnose signal behaviour and system performance
- Prototype real-time and batch-processing architectures using Python and signal processing libraries
- Lead field-based data collection and over-the-air experiments using drones and wireless devices
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop SDR-based detection and intelligence solutions
- Model and mitigate hardware-induced effects to improve signal fidelity and inference outcomes
