    About the Role

    Our company is seeking an experienced and practicing Senior Scientist / Engineer. We currently operate in a hybrid manner, combining remote work with office work to provide a great work-life balance. Whether you prefer full-time, part-time, or flexible options, we will strive to accommodate your needs wherever possible.

    You will be joining our team at an exciting time as we maintain the UK's National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and work on developing infrastructure to support our Critical National Infrastructure. This initiative aims to address the risks associated with our reliance on global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS) which are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.

    As a Senior Scientist / Engineer, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of Scientists and Engineers working on developing new Time and Frequency infrastructure within the UK. Your role will involve creating robust systems for ground- and satellite-based Time and Frequency dissemination, utilizing Atomic Clocks located at various sites in the UK.

    This will include tasks such as testing and implementing:

    1. Satellite communication
    2. Optical fibre
    3. GNSS-based and monitoring subsystems

    Key responsibilities:

    • Leading a team of System Engineers and Scientists to deliver high-quality projects on time, within budget, and meeting quality standards
    • Designing and implementing hardware and software for satellite communication, optical fibre, and GNSS-based time and frequency transfer techniques for comparing distant atomic clocks
    • Developing innovative time dissemination systems, equipment, and applications to support UK sovereign and industry needs
    • Collaborating with wider teams to create high-specification solutions
    • Interacting with internal and external stakeholders to understand their needs and exceed their expectations

    Excitingly, this role offers opportunities to collaborate with external organizations and work from multiple sites within the UK.

    About You

    We believe that diversity and unique perspectives are essential for the success of our science projects. We particularly encourage applications from candidates underrepresented in STEM disciplines, including women, disabled individuals, and black, Asian, and minority ethnic candidates.

    Reporting to a Principal Scientist, you will play a crucial role in designing critical UK infrastructure that advances the measurement accuracy for the UK's new resilient Time Scale.

    To succeed in this role, you will need the following skills, experience, and qualifications:

    Essential:

    • Experience in Time and Frequency measurement/Time scales
    • A degree in a relevant field of Science or Engineering
    • Experience in leading Systems Engineering processes, including requirements, design, and implementation
    • Team management skills
    • Excellent written and verbal communication
    • Good customer-facing skills
    • A rigorous approach to problem-solving and the ability to develop solutions to complex problems

    Advantageous:

    • A postgraduate degree in a relevant field of Science or Engineering, such as satellite navigation systems (GNSS), SATCOM, communications, or systems engineering
    • Postgraduate experience (industrial or R&D) in software engineering applications, such as Python, LabVIEW, or MATLAB
    • Professional experience within an Engineering or R&D environment
    • Experience in working on Systems Engineering projects from inception to completion
    • Practical knowledge of SATCOM, optical fibre, and GNSS-based systems
    • Real-time monitoring and control of electronic hardware
    • Experience in atmospheric propagation of radio/microwave signals or Space science/systems
    • Experience in working on software for robust operational systems
