Summary
Are you an RF Engineer ready to step up into a more senior, impactful role? We’re looking for a talented engineer with hands-on RF experience to help develop the next generation of Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) systems.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on cutting-edge defence technology with a growing team at the forefront of RF and Electronic Warfare innovation.
As an RF Hardware Engineer, you’ll join an expert engineering team focused on designing and verifying high-performance RF sub-systems, including transceivers and power amplifiers from DC to 12GHz. You’ll be involved in the full lifecycle, from simulation and design to implementation and integration.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and verification of complex RF and analogue sub-systems
- Simulation and implementation of broadband power amplifiers and T/R switches
- Collaborate with software, firmware, PCB, and mechanical engineers
- Work with SPICE, EM simulators, and Mentor Graphics tools
- Support integration and test using RF test equipment
- Provide technical input and support estimation, planning, and delivery
Ideal Skills & Experience:
- RF and analogue circuit design and testing
- EM and large-signal simulation experience
- Experience with RF cascade analysis and PCB integration
- Knowledge of electronic components and systems
- Understanding of requirements management and system engineering processes
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
Qualifications & Security:
- HND/HNC or Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering or related STEM field
- Must be a UK or EU citizen (eligible for SC clearance)
- Current valid SC clearance is a plus
If you're looking to push your career forward in the RF/defence domain, this is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark on mission-critical technology.
