Job Details

Where will your RF or Electronic skills take you? You’d be surprised. 
Not just unique. Unexpected.
 

As a RF or Electronic Engineer in Dstl you could be working on one of a hundred different projects. 

In all of these you’ll be applying your knowledge in innovative and creative ways to solve a range of complex problems. That means you’ll need to be able to work collaboratively with people at different levels and from a range of disciplines. In our senior roles this also means motivating, leading and supporting colleagues through a variety of research and development projects. And it means you’ll have the confidence to deal with customers, suppliers and peers.

Job description

Using your expertise, you’ll apply your technical and scientific skills to one or more of the following groups: 
o Maritime Countermeasures 
o Electronic Countermeasures 
o Sensing and Detection 
o Communications and Network Engineering 
o Systems Engineering 
These groups span our 5 Science and Technology Divisions, so you could be based at Dstl Porton Down, Dstl Portsdown West or Dstl Fort Halstead. There will also be the opportunity to work with industry, potentially internationally, and on trials in a variety of locations.
 

Qualifications

You’ll have a degree or advanced professional qualification in Electronics Engineering, Communications Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Software Engineering, System Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Architecture, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, or relevant experience.

You won’t just enhance and develop your skills; you’ll help protect the UK too. So, become the unexpected and join us now.

Company

The Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence. We bring together the top minds in government, industry and academia to keep our armed forces and the UK safe.

Our values are at the heart everything we do: we are innovative, collaborative and impactful.

There’s a lot more to us than white lab coats.

We also have cyber labs, wargaming teams, engineering workshops, trial areas and collaborative working spaces. Of course, we do have science labs too. We need them to do the vital research and sensitive project work that simply can’t be done anywhere else – and we are hiring!

At Dstl, you can learn and grow within one of our divisions (or experience multiple) with opportunities available within:

  • Cyber and Information Systems,
  • Platform Systems,
  • Exploration,
  • Counter-terrorism and Security,
  • Chemical, Biological and Radiological or
  • within one of our enabling divisions.

Interesting fact…not all of our employees have PHDs, Masters, or Degrees because we equally value experience and the right mindset. So, if you don’t have higher level qualifications we welcome your application and if you want to, we can help you to obtain qualifications to advance your career even more.

Already have the qualifications? We want to hear from you too!

As well as our on-going recruitment for experienced hires, our emerging talent recruitment calendar happens every year.  Our emerging talent opportunities are award winning, from being voted a top graduate and apprentice employer to having our own apprentices winning awards such as the prestigious Rising Star award.

At Dstl everyone is encouraged to thrive, succeed and achieve their ambitions, whatever their background, circumstances, experiences, or characteristics.

We achieve amazing things when we work together. We work hard to make sure everyone can be themselves at work, be heard, and reach their full potential.

We listen and share experiences through our active Employee Support Networks. They are run by our people and supported by our leaders.

Apply now to become part of the science, or the support behind it!
