Job description

Every missile, UAV or aerospace flight test at Halcon depends on telemetry that gets the right data to the ground station intact, and this Abu Dhabi position designs and proves those systems. RF, microwave and telemetry subsystems are designed, modelled and tested, with link budgets and communication performance assessed in MATLAB, Simulink, CST, HFSS, ADS or Microwave Office. Airborne hardware covers RF transmitters, SDR architectures, power amplifiers, filtering, frequency generation and data acquisition electronics. Telemetry architecture is defined in detail, from parameter selection, sampling rates and frame structures to synchronisation, bandwidth allocation and data routing. Schemes such as PCM/FM, PSK, QPSK and FSK are developed alongside SDR solutions, and integration runs over Ethernet, UDP/TCP, CAN, RS-422/485 and avionics networks. Specifications, ICDs, acceptance test procedures and verification plans are written and maintained here. Lab, ground and factory acceptance testing lead into telemetry checkout and flight tests, followed by root-cause analysis and post-flight data review. IRIG-106, spectrum analysers, VNAs and ground station data decoding are part of everyday work, and MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810 knowledge will help. At least 8 years in RF engineering, telemetry or aerospace electronics is required, ideally with flight-test campaign experience.
