Senior RF Design Engineer

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Senior RF Design Engineer”, “description”: “

Location: Cambridge

Salary: £70-£100k based on seniority

Due to the type of work the client are looking for UK eyes only candidates

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior RF Electronics Engineer to join an elite technology company. This is a role for a "problem solver" who thrives in a high-variety environment and enjoys the satisfaction of seeing a concept move from a sketch on a whiteboard to a physical product in a state-of-the-art lab.

The Opportunity

Joining a multidisciplinary team of subject matter experts, you will take ownership of the RF lifecycle. You won't just be a cog in a machine; you will be instrumental in designing, building, and testing complex RF-based systems. You will have access to world‑class facilities, including anechoic chambers and the latest spectrum/network analysis equipment, to bring your designs to life.

Your Technical Profile

  • Education: A strong MEng in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Experience: 6+ years of post‑graduate experience in RF‑based circuit design (Radios, Radars, etc.).
  • Design Cycle: Proven track record of taking modules from initial concept through to successful design verification.
  • Core Skills: Expert‑level microwave, RF, and analogue design/simulation skills, including:
  • Filters

The "Value Add" (Desired but not essential)

  • Knowledge of mm-wave frequency design.
  • Understanding of full Radio or Radar systems.
  • Digital circuit design skills to complement your RF expertise.
  • Previous experience in team leadership or mentoring junior engineers.

Why Join This Team?

  • Unrivaled Variety: No two projects are the same. You will rotate across sectors including Aerospace, Defence, and IoT.
  • Technical Growth: Extensive support for professional development, whether you want to pursue a technical fellowship, commercial leadership, or management.
  • Collaborative Culture: Work in a supportive environment where you are expected to explain complex technical concepts to non‑technical clients, bridging the gap between "the lab" and "the real world."

The Rewards

Our client offers a highly competitive salary and a bespoke benefits package tailored to your level of expertise. More importantly, they offer a "stimulating environment" that encourages you to be your best, backed by all the training and support needed to tackle the most demanding technical challenges in the industry.
