Physicist (Experienced)

Breakthrough technology is vital for strengthening the UK’s Defence and Homeland Security. As a Physicist at Awerian, you will be at the forefront of this innovation race to defend and protect the UK from the latest technological and cyber threats.

Your work will have a real-world impact. You will get to explore pioneering concepts by collaborating with elite multi-disciplinary teams of highly educated and skilled scientists, engineers, and designers. It’s a fantastically challenging, varied and agile role.

You will see ideas become a reality through the development of prototypes using Awerian’s rapid approach to design and implementation. This will involve all aspects of technology and product development – from invention, analysis, and computational modelling through to prototype design and the transfer to manufacturing.

Whether you’re working to solve complex problems or enjoying a eureka moment – your work will make an immediate impact on our widely varied projects. You will approach challenges by getting to the heart of the problem and using your deep physics knowledge to search for solutions. If you have an insatiable curiosity and demonstrable skills in applying fundamental physics to real-world scenarios, you will thrive here. You will be kept busy generating theoretical models and collecting empirical evidence through research, modelling and hands-on experimentation.

Requirements

The projects and typical work will cover areas such as:

• analytical, numerical, and finite element simulation,
• thermal systems, including aviation and maritime, as well as chemical and materials processes,
• optics, including propagation, imaging systems, fibre optics, lasers, fluorescence imaging and interaction of light with real-world surfaces,
• electromagnetics, including propagation, penetration, interference and interaction with electronics,
• acoustics, including haptics and acoustic communications and,
• fluid analysis, including droplet and aerosol formation, particle dispersion, fluid flow and microfluidics.

An interest or experience in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning is also welcome.

You will have a track record of academic excellence, hold a relevant degree, and have proven technical capabilities with relevant professional experience as a Physicist.

We are keen to hear from Physicists with experience in any sector.
