Job Description

Job Overview

This role offers an exciting opportunity to provide both technical and project support across Spirent's customised product portfolio. The Tailored Solutions team focuses primarily on Spirent's cutting-edge GNSS simulators within the Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) domain. In supporting this portfolio, you'll be involved in all technical and project phases of Spirent's Product Realisation Process, with the added opportunity to engage directly with customers on complex solutions.

About Spirent

As part of Spirent Communications, our Positioning Technologies business unit is where the world's leading companies turn when they need to accelerate their time-to-market for next-generation navigation and communication systems. In fact, every significant industry test in the last six years for devices deployed on land, at sea, in the air and in space, has used Spirent's test systems as the benchmark. We are continually recognised by customers, industry, press, and technology associations for our innovative thinking and our ground-breaking products. The navigation and communications market has untapped potential. The boundaries of how fast, far, and accurately voice and data can be transmitted have yet to be reached, or even defined. Spirent solutions are paving the way for tomorrow's communications.

Spirent Positioning Technology designs, manufactures and supplies advanced satellite navigation test and simulation systems, many of which comprise radio frequency signal generators plus computer systems running complex application software; all designed in-house.

Job Responsibilities

Work closely with the Sales team and directly with customers to capture, clarify, and understand requirements before proposing appropriate technical solutions in collaboration with cross-functional subject matter experts. Develop and take ownership of the detailed technical content included in formal Tailored Solution proposals.

Where appropriate and depending on project scope, contribute directly to project delivery as an individual contributor.

Job Requirements

Degree-qualified in a relevant technology discipline, ideally specialising in GNSS, Software, or RF Engineering. Experience working as an individual technical contributor. Proven ability in requirements gathering and technical proposal writing, including direct customer interaction. Familiarity with R&D methods (ideally GNSS-based), GNSS testing, and simulator development. Quick to grasp new technologies and their practical applications. Strong communication skills with the ability to liaise effectively across multi-disciplinary project teams and diverse customer groups.
