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
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
