Senior Waveform Architect (All Genders)

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of the physical layer (PHY)—waveform, modulation, coding, framing, and synchronisation—from initial architecture to real-time execution.
• Engineer solutions specifically tailored for challenging jamming scenarios and complex, multi-node long-range link budgets.
• Own the PHY-side specifications and expose the critical IQ, phase, and timing observables required by the Direction Finding (DF) strand.
• Define the development guidelines for the strand—including HDL and verification conventions, as well as FPGA build flows.

Qualifications

• You have successfully designed a PHY and brought it onto FPGA/SoC hardware in real time.
• You are quantitatively sure-footed on synchronisation, estimation, FEC (Forward Error Correction), and link budgets.
• You have practical experience debugging real radio links against physical hardware.

Nice to have

• Experience with anti-jamming and LPI/LPD (Low Probability of Intercept/Detection) in a tactical context.
• A professional background at industry leaders.
• Publicly verifiable PHY implementation evidence (e.g., custom GNU Radio OOT modules or contributions to the RFSoC toolchain).
