Our UK presence has been growing at pace, meaning we can offer a wide range of opportunities for personal fulfilment and career growth. We currently employ over 600 people across eight sites in the UK, and our specialisations include software engineering, underwater robotics, radars, AI, and armed forces training. The Role: This role is part of our Sensor Systems Radar Business in Fareham. At Saab, we are constantly looking ahead and pushing boundaries on what s considered technically possible. Saab is expanding in the UK and we are now seeking talented and highly motivated engineers to support our radar and sensors growth activities at our Fareham offices. We are recruiting for a Senior Systems Engineer specialising in Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and Distributed Sensing. The successful candidate is expected to fulfil the requirements of a Saab Specialist, and act as a technical leader to: drive development, lead innovation and anticipate future trends, identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and advocate change to maintain competitiveness. Also lead competence development, and formulate and maintain Specialist Work Programmes. Key Responsibilities: As a Senior System Engineer, you will be responsible for enhancing our current products, developing improvements and investigating new areas for product growth, as well as supporting the Engineering Team with various Systems Engineering-focussed activities. System Architecture & Design. Lead the architectural design of PNT solutions, integrating Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Navigation Systems, and alternative PNT (e.g., vision-based, RF-based, or celestial navigation). Architect distributed sensing networks, defining how data is collected, synchronized, and fused across multiple remote nodes to create a unified operational picture. Define system-level requirements, interface control documents, and performance specifications for timing accuracy and positioning precision. Perform trade studies to optimise the balance between size, weight, power, and cost and system performance. PNT & Synchronization Expertise . Implement and optimise high-precision timing distribution protocols (e.g., PTP/IEEE 1588, NTP, or White Rabbit). Develop strategies for PNT resilience, including mitigation of jamming, spoofing, and GNSS-denied environment operations. Lead the selection and integration of atomic clocks, quantum oscillators, and high-grade IMUs. Distributed Sensing & Data Fusion . Design algorithms and architectures for distributed beamforming, phased arrays, or coordinated sensor fusion. Manage the challenges of network latency, jitter and asynchronous data arrival in distributed sensing environments. Collaborate with software teams to implement edge-processing capabilities to reduce data backhaul from sensing nodes. Integration, Test & Evaluation . Develop comprehensive verification and validation (V&V) plans to prove timing and positioning accuracy. Design and execute complex test campaigns using hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop simulations. Lead the analysis of telemetry and test data to identify systemic errors and drive corrective design changes. Leadership & Mentorship . Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for PNT and Distributed Sensing across cross-functional teams (Radio Frequency, Software, Mechanical). Mentor junior engineers in systems engineering best practices and specialized domain knowledge. Present technical roadmaps and progress reports to senior leadership and external. Skills and Experience: Required Master's or PhD in a related field. A minimum of five to ten years industrial radar, communications or electronic warfare systems experience. A minimum of seven years of experience in systems engineering, specifically focusing on PNT and/or distributed sensor systems. Proven track record with systems utilising GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS) and Inertial Navigation (Kalman Filtering, sensor fusion). Experience with distributed aperture systems, sensor networks, or Multiple-Input Multiple-Output radar architectures. Proficiency with MATLAB/ Simulink for modelling and simulation. Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering tools and requirements management tools. Familiar with the principles of ISO 15288:2023. During your employment you will handle tasks and materials that are classified as military secret and therefore you must have a UK or Swedish citizenship. Desirable RF Knowledge: Strong understanding of RF front-end design, antenna theory and signal propagation. Programming. Proficiency in C++, Python, or Rust for prototyping algorithms. Security. Experience with encrypted PNT signals or secure timing distribution. By submitting an application to Saab UK you consent to undertaking workforce screening activities that may include but are not limited to: Baseline Personnel Security checks, National Security Vetting, reference checks, verification of working rights and in all circumstances preferred candidates will be placed through a security interview.

We are working with a global Software, Systems & Engineering company in the Defence Sector, supporting them with appointing a Software Development Engineer . This is not a traditional software development role. They're looking for engineers who understand the engineering behind autonomous systems and can develop production-quality software to solve complex real-world problems. The successful candidate will work on the design, development, modelling, integration and testing of autonomous control systems for both crewed and uncrewed aircraft. Salary: £47,250-£52,500 + benefits Location: Farnborough - Initially 5 days onsite. Longer-term hybrid may be possible (typically 3+ days onsite) once established. Duration : perm, full time Requirements: sole UK nationals or dual nationals living and working in the UK for the past 5 years What They're Looking For The hiring managers stressed that software capability is more important than an aerospace background. Ideal candidates will have around 4 7 years' commercial experience and be comfortable taking ownership of technical work packages while mentoring or directing more junior engineers. They are not looking for someone who simply writes code they want engineers who can solve engineering problems through software. Ideal Backgrounds Suitable candidates could currently be working as: Software Development Engineer Software Engineer Software Developer Autonomy Engineer Autonomous Systems Engineer Control Systems Engineer Robotics Engineer Algorithm Engineer Simulation Engineer Systems Engineer Research Engineer Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineer AI / Machine Learning Engineer (Autonomy focused) Industries could include: Defence Aerospace Aviation Robotics Autonomous Vehicles UAV / Drone Technology Research & Development Control Systems Advanced Engineering They are also very interested in engineers coming from Physics or Mathematics backgrounds who have developed strong software engineering skills. Essential Technical Skills The strongest candidates will have experience with: Programming C C++ MATLAB Python Engineering Autonomous systems Control systems Systems Engineering Algorithm development Modelling & Simulation Software development for complex engineering systems Experience with any of the following is highly desirable: UAVs UAS Drone technologies Decision support systems Military aviation Flight control Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Personality Fit The hiring managers highlighted they want someone who: Enjoys solving difficult engineering problems Has genuine enthusiasm for autonomous systems Can take ownership of technical work Works well within multidisciplinary teams Can provide technical direction to others Wants to work on leading-edge defence technology They used the word "passionate" about autonomy even though they admitted it's an overused term! They want someone who genuinely enjoys this area of engineering. Qualifications Ideally: Aerospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electronic Engineering Physics Applied Mathematics Computer Science (with strong engineering exposure) A PhD would be attractive if it is directly relevant to autonomy or autonomous air systems , although they still want some commercial experience rather than someone coming straight from academia.
