Apply for the Principal RF Systems Engineer
Location: Cambridge
Job Description:

An innovative and fast-growing engineering company is looking for a Principal RF Systems Engineer to play a key role in shaping next‑generation RF test and measurement technology.

They operate at the cutting edge of RF and digital system design, developing highly advanced products used in complex wireless environments. This is a great opportunity to have real ownership over system architecture while still staying hands‑on.

The Role

You’ll take a lead position in defining and delivering RF system solutions, working across both RF and digital domains.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Defining RF and digital system architectures for new products
  • Designing RF and FPGA‑based PCB schematics
  • Debugging and resolving issues across prototype builds
  • Defining and implementing calibration processes
  • Contributing to DSP, firmware or software development
  • Providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers

This is a genuinely mixed role – ideal for someone who enjoys both big‑picture system thinking and hands‑on engineering.

What They’re Looking For

They’re open on level, but you’ll likely bring:

Core experience

  • Degree in Electronic Engineering, Physics or similar
  • Strong background in RF electronics (GHz range)
  • Experience specifying and designing RF systems
  • Confident with RF test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyser, etc.)
  • Understanding of RF performance metrics (NF, IP3, SFDR etc.)
  • Comfortable leading projects while remaining hands‑on

Nice to have

  • PCB layout experience
  • Python for test/automation
  • Bluetooth or wireless systems
  • C++
