Descrizione del lavoro

NewSpace Technical is partnered with a cutting‑edge European aerospace company that is redefining what’s possible in small satellite technology. This innovative organisation develops advanced satellite platforms alongside next‑generation technologies supporting the future of space exploration.

Operating with a fully integrated, “end‑to‑end” model -from concept and design through to qualification and in‑orbit operations - they are known for delivering high‑performance, agile space solutions.

As part of their continued expansion, they are looking for a talented RF Engineer to join their Telecommunications team, contributing to the design and development of advanced RF systems for space applications.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, forward‑thinking engineering environment where innovation, ownership, and continuous learning are actively encouraged.

The Role

As an RF Engineer, you will be involved in the design, development, and validation of RF subsystems, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust and high‑performance space‑grade communication solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Analysing system‑level requirements and defining technical specifications
• Translating requirements into board‑level architecture and hardware design
• Producing and managing technical documentation (design descriptions, ICDs, verification plans, test procedures, etc.)
• Designing RF front‑end architectures (MMIC/HMIC‑based: HPA, LNA, mixers, oscillators, PLLs, etc.)
• Supporting schematic capture and PCB layout activities
• Performing simulations and preliminary validation (EMC, thermal, power derating, etc.)
• Defining and executing RF test campaigns, including setup and procedure development
• Characterising high‑frequency components and systems (up to 40 GHz), including S‑parameters, noise figure, and phase noise

Your Background

• Degree in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related STEM discipline
• ~3+ years of experience in RF front‑end development (space, aerospace, or similar high‑reliability sectors preferred)
• Strong communication skills in English

Key Skills & Experience

• Experience in RF product development, ideally within aerospace, defence, or avionics
• Strong proficiency with RF design and simulation tools (e.g. ADS, Altium, CST) across 0.1–40 GHz
• Experience designing RF front‑ends, including radar or ultra‑wideband receiver systems
• Hands‑on experience with RF lab instrumentation (VNA, spectrum analysers, etc.)
• Solid understanding of antenna theory and technologies (gain, polarisation, patch antennas, arrays, etc.)
• Strong analytical mindset with excellent problem‑solving capabilities
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast‑paced, and collaborative environment
• Background in space or aerospace projects
• Experience with EMC qualification processes
• Familiarity with ECSS or MIL standards
• Experience with Agile methodologies and cross‑functional teams
• Knowledge of FMEA and FTA analysis
• Detail‑oriented approach with a strong drive for continuous improvement

Why Apply?

• Work on innovative, real‑world space missions at the forefront of RF and satellite communications
• Be part of a highly skilled, collaborative engineering team
• Clear opportunities for professional development and career progression
• Flexible and hybrid working model
• Strong emphasis on work‑life balance, including regular additional time off
• Competitive salary and benefits package

This is an exciting opportunity for an RF Engineer looking to make a meaningful impact in the rapidly evolving space sector while working on advanced communication technologies that power the next generation of satellite missions.
