We are currently looking for a Senior RF Engineer to join our Engineering team based onsite at our UK Headquarters in Cumbernauld.
What You Will Do
As a Senior RF Design Engineer, you’ll be the technical cornerstone of our RF product development. Your designs will not only meet exacting performance standards but also push the boundaries of what’s possible in high-frequency systems. You’ll guide projects from concept to production, ensuring that every circuit, simulation, and test delivers excellence:
- Lead the design and development of advanced RF circuits, subsystems, and modules for applications ranging from wireless communications to radar.
- Perform detailed simulations using ADS, HFSS, and SPICE to optimize performance, minimize losses, and ensure compliance with specifications.
- Translate designs into manufacturable layouts using Altium Designer, collaborating closely with PCB layout engineers to meet RF performance goals.
- Conduct rigorous bench testing, validation, and troubleshooting of prototypes, using state-of-the-art RF test equipment.
- Work cross-functionally with mechanical, digital, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration of RF designs into complete systems.
- Mentor junior engineers, sharing best practices.
