At Airbus Defence and Space in Portsmouth, we’re shaping the future of communications and space technology. Our RF test organisation (as a key part of the wider AIT - Assembly, Integration and Test team) ensures that every payload we deliver performs flawlessly in orbit. In this key leadership role, you’ll oversee all RF testing activities across multiple space programmes, including RF preparation tasks for telecoms payloads testing and ensuring that test systems solutions are developed on time, on cost & on quality (including Product Regulatory Compliance, where appropriate). You’ll lead a team of skilled engineers, driving operational performance, technical excellence and continuous improvement in one of Europe’s most advanced RF test environments. You’ll define the vision and strategy for RF test, ensuring safe, efficient and on-time delivery of complex test campaigns. Working closely with Engineering, Quality and Programme teams you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring that our spacecraft meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
