About the role

Lead Engineer responsible for low-observability calculations and RCS simulation workflow, including high-performance computing campaigns, supplier coordination, and correlation with measurement data to guide low-observable aircraft and antenna design.

Responsibilities

  • Direct high-fidelity RCS simulations using MoM and MLFMM for airframe and payload-driven signature topics
  • Implement Physical Optics analyses for electrically large structures and fast-turn trade studies
  • Construct and maintain analysis models, managing CAD cleanup, material assignment, boundary conditions, and excitation setups
  • Create and optimise triangular surface meshes to ensure convergence and numerical stability
  • Conduct sweep campaigns across frequency, aspect, and polarisation to generate deliverables (RCS polars, sensitivity studies)
  • Diagnose and resolve solver issues (convergence, mesh quality, artefacts)
  • Guide signature-reduction trade studies with structures and low-observability teams
  • Correlate simulation results against range and anechoic measurements, quantify error bars and document assumptions
  • Optimise workflows for HPC execution and automate result post-processing
  • Produce program artefacts and reports for design reviews
  • Coordinate supplier activities for RCS calculation and testing

Qualifications

  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline
  • Delivered computational EM and RCS analysis for complex aerospace platforms, including materials and radome modelling
  • Practical expertise with MoM/MLFMM and Physical Optics methods
  • Proficient in meshing and CAD-to-solver workflows; able to diagnose geometry-driven numerical problems
  • Ability to coordinate large sweeps on high-performance computing clusters; understanding of solver scaling and convergence controls
  • Strong communication of complex results to provide design guidance, hotspot attribution, and trade-offs
