Our Client

Our client is a highly regarded technology and engineering organisation developing complex electronic and RF systems across sectors including defence, communications, industrial technology and advanced consumer products.

They work on technically challenging projects where engineers are typically creating something new rather than making incremental changes to an established product. They are now looking for a Senior RF Electronics Engineer to take ownership of RF and electronics development across a variety of multidisciplinary projects.

As a Senior RF Electronics Engineer

You’ll work across the full hardware development lifecycle, from early-stage concepts and architecture through detailed design, prototyping, integration, testing and verification.

Projects Vary Significantly, But The RF Work Can Include

  • RF front-end and circuit design, including LNAs, power amplifiers and associated RF circuitry
  • RF system and electronics development for communications, sensing and defence applications
  • Low-noise power-supply and mixed-signal electronics design
  • PCB design, hardware bring-up, debugging and integration
  • RF testing using VNAs, spectrum analysers, signal generators and other laboratory equipment
  • Working alongside antenna, mechanical, software, firmware and systems engineers

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

This is also a client-facing engineering environment, so you’ll be involved in understanding technical requirements, explaining design decisions and helping turn complex problems into practical engineering solutions.

What they are looking for

Our client is less concerned with engineers having used an exact set of tools and more interested in strong RF fundamentals and a track record of delivering working hardware.

You’ll Ideally Have

  • A degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
  • Strong electronic circuit design fundamentals
  • Commercial RF electronics design experience
  • Experience designing circuits such as LNAs, PAs or similar RF front-end hardware
  • Understanding of low-noise DC/DC or SMPS design
  • Hands-on RF hardware bring-up, debugging and testing experience

Experience with tools such as CST, HFSS, Microwave Office or Altium would be useful, but isn’t essential.

Due to some of the programmes involved, you must be eligible for UK security clearance.

Why consider it?

The main attraction of this Senior RF Electronics Engineer position is the variety. You won’t be developing the same product generation after generation; you’ll work across different technologies, applications and engineering problems.

You’ll also have access to extensive in-house electronics and RF development facilities, allowing you to stay closely involved from design through to physical hardware, testing and verification.

It’s particularly well suited to an RF engineer who enjoys technically difficult work, wants exposure to a broader range of applications and prefers an environment where they can remain genuinely hands-on.
