Job Description:

If you’re an RF Engineer who enjoys solving difficult problems rather than spending your time in meetings, this could be worth a look.

We’re recruiting for a senior RF position with a UK technology business developing high-frequency RF and microwave products for telecommunications, defence and aerospace applications.

The role sits within an established engineering team and offers the opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle, from early concepts and simulations through to testing, qualification and production. You’ll have access to in-house manufacturing, experienced engineers across multiple disciplines and the freedom to influence technical direction.

This isn’t a people management role. It’s about technical leadership, owning challenging RF designs and helping less experienced engineers when needed.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading the design of RF and mmWave circuits, modules and subsystems
  • Taking ownership of technical requirements, simulation, design and verification
  • Supporting system line-up analysis, yield analysis and performance optimisation
  • Working closely with mechanical, electronics, manufacturing and test engineers
  • Troubleshooting complex technical issues during development and production
  • Contributing to design reviews and helping drive engineering best practice
  • Supporting the development of engineers across the team

We’d like to hear from engineers with experience in:

  • RF, microwave or mmWave design
  • Power amplifiers, filters, transceivers or RF subsystems
  • ADS, Microwave Office, CST, EMPro or similar design tools
  • Defence, aerospace, telecoms or satellite communications
  • Taking technical ownership of complex engineering projects

The business offers a fantastic range of benefits, including enhanced pension, enhanced maternity, paternity, EV salary sacrifice scheme and holiday buy back.

The company is investing heavily in new product development and has a strong order book, making this an excellent time to join.
