Role Overview

We are seeking a Field Systems Applications Engineer to serve as the primary technical interface to aerospace, defense, and emerging autonomy customers. This individual will engage at the system architecture level , helping customers design and deploy advanced RF, microwave, communications, and navigation subsystems for drones, autonomous platforms, radar, and electronic warfare applications.

This is not a traditional component-level applications role. The focus is system solution enablement — spanning semiconductor, module, and subsystem integration.

Key Responsibilities

1. System-Level Technical Engagement

• Act as trusted technical advisor to defense startups, scale-ups, and established primes
• Engage across full architectures:
  • RF signal chains (DC–40+ GHz)
  • Radar and electronic warfare subsystems
  • Software-defined radio platforms
  • MEMS-based inertial navigation and stabilization
  • Power distribution and data conversion
• Guide customers from concept through prototype and into production

2. Architecture & Reference Design Leadership

• Support customers in partitioning system architectures
• Recommend semiconductor, module, and subsystem solutions
• Enable sensor fusion architectures combining RF, navigation, and digital processing
• Drive reuse of evaluation boards, prototypes, and rapid-iteration hardware

3. Program Acceleration

• Help customers reduce time to field
• Minimize unnecessary qualification cycles through intelligent reuse strategies
• Bridge internal engineering teams (RF, MEMS, software, power) with external customer programs
• Provide structured technical feedback to influence internal product roadmaps

4. Market & Ecosystem Development

• Support expansion of defense and autonomy ecosystems in United Kingdom
• Identify emerging drone, EW, and radar programs early
• Strengthen relationships with system integrators and government-linked organizations

Technical Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• 7+ years in Applications Engineering, Field Systems Engineering, or Systems Engineering
• Broad semiconductor knowledge: analog, data converters, power, RF/microwave
• Experience in one or more of the following:
  • Radar systems
  • Electronic warfare
  • Military communications
  • Software-defined radio
  • MEMS IMUs and navigation systems
  • Autonomous platforms / drones
• Fluent English
• United Kingdom nationality required

What Success Looks Like

• Customers view you as a system-level partner , not a component supplier
• You influence architectural decisions early in the design cycle
• You enable rapid prototype-to-production transitions
• You strengthen the company’s credibility in advanced defense subsystems
