Job Description:

RF Design Contractor | 6 Months | 4 days onsite | Outside IR35 | Cambridge

I’m currently supporting an engineering company looking for a senior RF contractor to join them onsite for an initial 6 month engagement, helping solve a range of RF design, validation and obsolescence challenges across an existing product range.

This is a hands-on role for somebody who can hit the ground running, integrate into the team quickly and add value across both development and manufacturing engineering activities.

Key experience required:

  • Recent experience in discrete RF design and validation
  • Strong background with FGen/VCO along with TX/RX circuit design
  • Experience across 400MHz–900MHz frequencies (PMR type environments highly relevant)
  • Good understanding of RF component selection, market availability and obsolescence resolution
  • Experience working on integrated products rather than isolated RF modules/gain blocks
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work closely with engineering teams onsite

Desirable:

  • PMR experience
  • LTE/module/chipset integration experience at 2–5GHz
  • EMC debug experience

The business is looking for somebody practical and delivery-focused who enjoys solving problems rather than purely R&D-style work.

Onsite requirement is 4 days per week minimum. There may be flexibility to compress hours across 4 longer days.

Please get in touch if interested or if you can recommend somebody suitable.
