I’m supporting a long-standing client based near Leeds, a leading RF/microwave technology manufacturer working across space, defence, high-reliability communications and next-generation connectivity hardware. They’re scaling quickly, with record commercial growth and major programme wins across their filter, mmWave and subsystem product lines.
They’re now looking to bring in a Senior RF Filter Engineer to take ownership of RF/microwave filter design projects from concept through to delivery. This Senior RF Filter Engineer will sit within their core RF/microwave engineering group, focusing on advanced filter design, NPI support and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, operations and customer-facing functions.
Role Overview – Senior RF Filter Engineer
You’ll lead the design, simulation, prototyping, tuning, verification and release of high-performance RF/microwave filters and filter-based subsystems, supporting both R&D activity and customer programmes. The focus is on delivering technically strong, manufacturable designs that meet performance, cost and schedule targets.
