Apply for the RF Electronic Design Engineer
Location: Manchester
Job Description:

The role

An exciting opportunity has become available to work full time on a 5-month contract to complete a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) developing an Adaptive Multiband Metamaterial Antenna Frontend for Ultra-low Power 5G/Wi-Fi 6/6E/7/HaLow Applications.

Employed and supported by an academic team from the University, you will work both from home and at SmOp Cleantech’s premises in Manchester.

Qualification we require

  • Hold a minimum 2:1 BEng in Electronic Engineering, Radio Frequency Engineering or a related degree. BSc (Hons) / B.Tech. candidates would also be considered, though BEng (Hons) is preferred.
  • Prior industry experience and/or a higher qualification (e.g., MSc, PhD) would be beneficial.

Application requirements

  • Knowledge of fundamental components of electronic circuit systems: impedance matching, rectifying circuits, signal processing etc.
  • Knowledge of standard mathematical techniques for electronic engineering, signal analysis, signal propagation, signal modulation etc.
  • Knowledge of RF data communication protocols (NFC/RFID, WLAN, WNAN, WWAN), Multi-radio standards / protocols; and multi-radio networks convergence characterisation.
  • Experience of RF subsystems design, modelling, simulation, fabrication, integration and characterisation.
  • Knowledge of RF technologies and architectures, such as multi-radio 5G/Wi-Fi6/6E/7/HaLow and antenna design topologies (e.g., multiple input multiple output); and beamforming optimisation algorithms.
  • Knowledge of energy harvesting systems (Energy types; harvesting methods; energy sources; energy collecting distances; harvesting performance; power conversion efficiency; and application).
  • Knowledge of computer programming languages such as C/C++/Python and Java for embedded systems integration and interfacing.
