Descripción de la vacante

Motorola Solutions UK Limited is looking for an experienced RF test engineer to anchor verification from prototype through to production release. You will operate at the heart of the Systems Engineering team, coordinating validation strategies, lab and field testing, and cross-domain fault-finding across hardware, RF, software and mechanical interfaces.

You’ll apply hands-on diagnostics with spectrum analyzers, signal generators and oscilloscopes, balancing rigorous testing with rapid iteration,

Formación

• Experience in test, validation, or integration of complex RF or electronics-based systems, preferably in an NPI or R&D environment.
• Hands-on proficiency with spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes to verify RF performance.
• Methodical troubleshooting of integrated hardware/software issues with proactive design-phase critique.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, or related field.
• Practical, evidence-driven mindset and ability to work with imperfect prototypes while balancing pace and verification confidence.

Responsabilidades

• Define and execute system-level validation plans balancing testing rigor with delivery speed.
• Plan and conduct functional, performance, and stress testing in lab and field environments.
• Validate complete systems integrating hardware, RF, software, and mechanics.
• Lead root-cause investigations across domains to support fault-finding from embedded to mechanical levels.
• Develop and maintain test rigs, fixtures, and automated procedures to improve repeatability.
• Produce clear, evidence-based documentation for reviews, NPI handover, and changes.

Descripción del empleo

The Role

This is a high-impact, hands-on role at the heart of our Systems Engineering team, serving as the vital link between prototype development and mission-ready product release. You will balance structured V-model verification with rapid "fail-fast" testing to ensure our world-class RF systems are robust, reliable, and technically superior. If you take pride in technical problem-solving and love the challenge of uncovering emergent issues in complex, integrated hardware and software, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Verification Strategy: Define and execute system-level validation plans that balance rigorous testing with delivery speed to ensure risks are retired early in the development cycle.

• Prototype Testing: Plan and conduct functional, performance, and stress testing in both lab and field environments to feed critical results back into design decisions.

• System Integration: Validate complete systems, ensuring that integrated hardware, RF, software, and mechanical elements perform seamlessly as intended.

• Fault-Finding & Root Cause: Lead investigations into complex technical issues across multiple domains, supporting fault-finding from the embedded level to mechanical integration.

• Infrastructure Improvement: Develop and maintain high-quality test rigs, fixtures, and automated procedures to improve the repeatability and efficiency of our validation activities.

• Documentation & Reporting: Produce clear, evidence-based documentation that supports technical reviews, NPI handover, and engineering changes.

Basic Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: A proven background in the test, validation, or integration of complex RF or electronics-based systems, preferably within an NPI or R&D environment.

• Technical Proficiency: Expert hands-on experience using diagnostic tools like spectrum analysers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes to measure and verify RF performance.

• Diagnostic Skills: A methodical approach to troubleshooting integrated hardware/software issues, with a proactive ability to operate as a "devil's advocate" during the design phase.

• Educational Foundation: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, or a related field.

• Mindset: A practical, evidence-driven professional who is comfortable working with imperfect prototypes and can balance delivery pace with verification confidence.

Equivalent practical experience is highly valued; we encourage applications even if you don't meet 100% of the criteria.
