Descripción del empleo

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an RF Engineer to join a growing technology organisation developing high-performance RF and microwave systems for advanced communications applications.

You will join a multidisciplinary engineering team working across the development of RF/microwave transceiver systems, from antenna interfaces through to modem connectivity. The role covers design, simulation, prototype development, testing and qualification, with a strong hands-on element in the laboratory.

The ideal candidate will have strong RF/microwave knowledge, particularly across Ku and Ka-band systems, alongside practical experience working with RF test equipment and developing automated test solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and simulate RF front-end systems, working with system, modem/DSP and ASIC engineers to define hardware and software functions.
• Support schematic design, RF circuit development and validation, including the design and testing of microwave circuits, boards and production hardware.
• Evaluate components and prototypes, characterise RF performance and support the development and qualification of new RF/microwave systems.
• Develop automated RF test solutions using Python, including test scripts and laboratory measurement setups.
• Work closely with manufacturing teams to support production testing and implementation of RF components and systems.
• Develop test plans, procedures and technical documentation to support prototype development and product qualification.

About You

• A Master's degree in an engineering discipline with an emphasis on RF/microwave circuits or electromagnetic theory.
• 3+ years' experience testing and characterising microwave circuits, ideally including power amplifiers, PLLs, LNAs, mixers or filters.
• Experience designing linear and non-linear RF/microwave circuits.
• Experience using RF design and simulation tools such as ADS, HFSS or similar.
• Experience with PCB design tools such as Cadence Allegro/Capture or Altium.
• Strong practical experience using RF test equipment including spectrum analysers, vector signal analysers/generators and network analysers.
• Experience characterising radio performance at microwave frequencies.
• Knowledge of digital communications, including modulation techniques such as QPSK, APSK and QAM.

Desirable Experience

• Python or MATLAB for RF modelling, analysis and test automation.
• Experience working at Ku and Ka-band frequencies.
• Understanding of digital communication performance, including BER and noise figure.
• Satellite communications experience.
• Knowledge of phased-array technologies.
• Experience working across the full RF development lifecycle, from design and prototyping through to manufacturing.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Performance-based bonus opportunity.
• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement benefits.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Employee wellbeing and assistance programmes.
