RF Seekers - Undergraduate Programme 2027

The Seekers department is responsible for the design, development, integration and production of all radar seekers, including multi-mode seekers (combining radar (RF) and electro-optic sensors). Our work is especially broad, as we are the design authority for all aspects of the seeker product. The diversity of fields working together under one roof makes the Seekers department a unique environment for discovering, exploring, developing and specialising in a wide variety of highly technical and valuable areas of expertise.

Seekers work across the whole product lifecycle from research and development, concept and design, integration and test, through to production and in-service support. You can gain experience in areas such as:

· System simulation and modelling.

· Algorithm development.

· Design and test of electronic and RF circuits.

· Hardware and software integration.

· Signal processing and data analysis.

· Performance analysis, requirements and specifications.

· Electromagnetic simulation.

· Experimental lab testing.

· Field trials including flight trials and firing trial preparation.

· Image processing and ray tracing.

This will use and advance your knowledge from university, applying it to technical challenges at the cutting edge of technology, in a department which never stops learning.
