We are a global provider of performance analysis and service assurance solutions that enable the development and deployment of next-generation technologies such as broadband services, Internet telephony, 4G wireless, security testing, positioning technologies and application performance.


As GNSS becomes more ubiquitous in infrastructure (public and private, commercial and government) the risks associated with the inherent vulnerabilities of the technology become a higher priority issue to quantify and resolve. There is now an active discussion in the industry regarding vulnerability and how to build robustness; a conversation that Spirent believes it can actively contribute and add value to.


As System Engineer within the System team, you will help to innovate and develop systems, subsystems and features for our Simulation and Navigation Products which are based on leading edge technology. This will drive the next generation of Spirent Communications products in the Positioning Technology Line of Business.
