Senior RF Design Engineer | Cambridgeshire | £70-100k

Location: Cambridge (Consultancy-based)

Salary: £70-£100k based on seniority

Sector: Aerospace, Robotics, & IoT

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

Are you an RF specialist who finds the idea of working on a single product line for years uninspiring? Would you prefer to spend your week designing sensors for autonomous drones, architecting space-based radars, or developing mission-critical comms for emergency services?

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

  • 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:
    • RF Amplifiers
    • Filters
    • Frequency Synthesisers

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.

If you are an adaptable, motivated engineer ready for a fresh challenge, apply today with your CV.
