Digital Twin Manager

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Own the digital twin and simulation roadmap and delivery plan for RF hardware and systems, aligned with product and test priorities.
• Direct development of RF signal-chain, antenna, and propagation models and hardware-in-the-loop test rigs into a unified simulation environment.
• Lead RF/systems engineers, simulation engineers, software developers, and test engineers.
• Translate RF product requirements, including radar, SATCOM, EW, or GNSS as applicable, into simulation and verification specifications.
• Manage simulation tooling and test-equipment vendors, including selection, contracting, and performance.
• Own programme budget, schedule, and risk, and report progress to senior client stakeholders.
• Ensure simulation results reliably correlate with physical test data.
• Ensure data security and compliance standards are met throughout defence-sector programmes.
• Embed digital twin capability in RF engineering teams' design and test workflows.

What You'll Bring

• 8+ years in programme or project management, including 3+ years leading RF/signal simulation, digital twin, or MBSE delivery.
• Track record delivering complex RF or defence technology programmes involving simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, or system-level testing.
• Strong stakeholder management experience with defence or technology clients.
• Working knowledge of RF simulation and test tooling, such as MATLAB/Simulink, Keysight SystemVue/PathWave, ANSYS HFSS/CST, dSPACE, or NI VeriStand.
• Solid grounding in RF systems fundamentals across radar, SATCOM, EW, or GNSS domains.
• Experience managing multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with confidence presenting to senior client stakeholders.
• Eligible to work in the UAE or willing to relocate.

Nice to Have

• Experience in radar, EW, SATCOM, or GNSS product development.
• MBSE tooling experience, such as Cameo Systems Modeler or DOORS.
• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent programme management certification.
• Security clearance or eligibility to obtain one.
• Arabic language skills.

Location and Logistics

• Based in the UAE, with regular client-site presence.
• Compensation and relocation support are discussed directly with shortlisted candidates.
