Technology Leader - Wireless Software Systems

We are looking for a software Technology Leader with commercial expertise and a deep understanding of wireless communications systems to join our team. We have a rich history in satellite, cellular, and personal area network communications. To maintain our position at the forefront of innovation in cutting-edge technologies such as Low Earth Orbit Satellites and High-Altitude Platforms, we are growing our techno-commercial leadership capability.

If you are the successful applicant you will collaborate with business developers to understand technology trends and market opportunities, selling and delivering projects for world-leading clients. You will inspire your colleagues to develop technology breakthroughs that add real value for our customers and help to develop the next generation of leaders within our organisation.

You’re likely to have far more variety in your work here than in your current role: Cambridge Consultants innovates for a wide range of clients, from start-ups to blue chips. Some are looking to optimise their existing technologies, while others come with a vision to develop something entirely new that both disrupt markets and create new ones. We will expect you to keep up with advances in technology and changes in the market, and to propose and investigate novel technologies that could enable new products and services for our current and future clients.

You won’t be working alone to reach these goals. We have a friendly and supportive culture and a passion for solving technical challenges.

Recent examples of wireless projects we have worked on are:

• The world’s largest airborne phased-array antenna system
• High-bandwidth internet connectivity for US business air-travel
• Propelling drone technology beyond the far horizon
• The world’s highest-density 4G radio system for a fleet of warehouse robots

As a Technology Leader, you will have a proven track record of leadership and innovation in the field of wireless communication systems. You will be enthusiastic about exploring new technologies and their potential benefits to our clients through a business lens. You will be a confident communicator, able to articulate your ideas and inspire others to develop theirs.

You will contribute to understanding market trends and clients’ needs alongside business developers. You will take a lead role in the creation and development of new ground-breaking wireless products, from initial client discussion, understanding of business outcomes, through to product specification and successful delivery.
