We’re supporting a long-standing client in the defence and security sector who are hiring a Radar Signal Processing Consultant to work on advanced radar and Electronic Warfare programmes based just outside Cambridge.
As a Radar Signal Processing Consultant, you’ll be involved in modelling, simulation and analysis of complex systems, using tools such as MATLAB, Simulink and Python. The work focuses on developing proof-of-concept models, signal processing algorithms and simulation environments for radar and EW applications with real-world national impact.
The role is suited to someone who enjoys getting into the detail of difficult technical problems, building models that stand up to scrutiny, and applying signal processing theory to real radar and EW system challenges.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in radar or Electronic Warfare modelling and simulation
- Strong background in signal processing algorithm development and validation
- Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Python or similar high-level languages
- Understanding of system architecture and complex system interactions
- A relevant degree in engineering, physics, maths or a related discipline
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Additional experience in any of the following areas would be highly desirable:
- DSP fundamentals including sampling, FFTs, filtering, correlation and convolution
- Simulation test bench development
- Hardware-in-the-loop development for radar or EW systems
- RF system knowledge, including antennas, front-end architecture, waveforms or receiver processing
- Real-time DSP or FPGA-based implementation
- Simulation validation through real-world measurements or field trials
Candidates with defence, security, radar or Electronic Warfare experience are preferred, though our client is open to applicants from adjacent technical backgrounds if they bring strong modelling, signal processing and problem-solving skills.
