Job description

Application Engineer - RF & Microwave

The Company

A privately owned and long established, well respected organisation based in the south of England, specialising in the supply of high end technology and leading edge RF/Microwave products. The extensive range covers components and sub-systems used in military/aerospace, automotive, and commercial sectors.

The Role

The Application Engineer is responsible for supporting sales of RF & microwave products and system solutions. This will be achieved by engaging with a highly trained sales team to support them with product demonstrations and technical presentations. This is a very important position within the team and can be the difference in winning and losing orders. Sharing of information internally and externally is key.

The candidate needs to have a strong technical knowledge in RF/Microwave or electrical/electronic related subjects. This role is varied, and an adaptive mindset is required to handle technical support from small components, PCBs, systems, sub-systems, test equipment, and possibly turnkey systems. This is a challenging role that requires communication at all levels both internally and externally to the business. A willingness to travel is required, as the customer base could be spread across the UK and possibly Europe.

Primary Duties:

• Support the sales team in technical demonstrations and presentations.
• Maintain and build technical knowledge for all RF & Microwave products within the company's portfolio.
• Regularly hold internal training exercises for the sales team.
• Engage regularly with principal suppliers:
• Stay up to speed with roadmaps.
• Increase knowledge of new successes that can be shared.
• Find out about new applications their products have been used in.
• Identify possible issues on products that may need to be rectified.
• Develop high quality technical responses to present to customers.
• Follow up with the sales team after a demonstration.
• Report back to the company with market information.
• Continuously improve market and technology understanding.

The Person

Probably a graduate engineer who has been working well within a high-end technology company for at least 1-2 years. The candidate will be driven, hardworking, and confident in their ability. A good listener with a social and likable character, and an educator who possesses the ability to share knowledge effectively.
