Role: RF Design Engineer
Location: Belfast
Working pattern: Hybrid, 3 days onsite
Salary: £65,000 - £75,000
An established defence and electronic engineering organisation delivering complex, high-technology solutions across critical engineering programmes. The business supports the development and integration of advanced electronic systems where robust design, verification, and operational performance are essential.
We are seeking an experienced RF Design Engineer to support the design, development, and validation of RF and mixed-signal electronics for demanding defence applications.
The role offers practical ownership across the RF development lifecycle, from component selection and schematic design through to PCB integration, laboratory testing, and system-level validation. You will work closely with electronics, PCB layout, systems, firmware, and test specialists to develop reliable, production-ready solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key responsibilities
- Design and develop RF analogue and mixed-signal electronics for complex engineering systems.
- Develop transceiver and RF front-end architectures using monolithic RF chipsets, including MMIC, SiP, and SoC-style devices.
- Design RF schematics, component selections, and impedance-matching networks against defined system requirements.
- Work with PCB layout engineers on signal integrity, grounding, shielding, routing, and manufacturability.
- Plan and execute laboratory verification using VNAs, spectrum analysers, RF signal generators, power meters, and oscilloscopes.
