About the Role

You will be the core technical driver of F.A.S.T.'s AiWACS radar programme — the world's first all-digital S-Band AESA radar chipset developed in house at AUS and now being miniaturised to chipset level for airborne deployment. This role owns the RF architecture from antenna through to signal chain.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end RF system architecture for the S-Band AESA phased-array radar (16-channel, 600 MHz chirp bandwidth, 25 cm range resolution)


• Design and characterise high-dynamic-range transceiver chains (70 dB dynamic range target)


• Develop stretch-processing waveform algorithms for high-resolution range profiling with lower ADC sampling rates


• Drive digital beamforming and STAP algorithm development for moving-target detection


• Collaborate with RFIC designers on chipset tape-out readiness and wafer characterisation
