Were supporting a leading UK defence organisation on the development of cutting edge RF and microwave technology used within complex guidance and datalink systems. Read on to fully understand what this job requires in terms of skills and experience If you are a good match, make an application. This role is ideal for an RF Engineer who enjoys hands on design, rapid prototyping and lab based testing, and wants to see their work progress from concept through to real hardware. What youll be doing • Designing and developing RF / microwave circuits across a wide frequency range (typically 30 MHz to 30 GHz), • Working at component and module level on RF subsystems including LNAs, power amplifiers, filters, oscillators and synthesisers, • Building, modifying and debugging prototypes to support development and test activities, • Conducting hands on RF testing and verification in an on site laboratory environment, • Ensuring designs perform in demanding operational environments (EMC, vibration, thermal), • Strong practical experience in RF / microwave circuit design and test, • Confident use of RF test equipment (spectrum analysers, VNAs, power meters), • Hands on laboratory skills including fault finding, rework and fine soldering, • Experience designing for real world constraints (EMC, environmental conditions), • Experience with RF simulation and layout tools (e.g., Microwave Office), • Exposure to design for manufacture and test, • Highly technical, engineering led environment, • Genuine hands on RF design, not paperwork-heavy, • Work on advanced, high frequency systems with real end-use impact
