RF Communications Engineer

Our client is an established product development business based just outside Cambridge, creating advanced communications technology for defence and aerospace applications. The work focuses on solving difficult communications challenges, particularly where systems need to remain secure, resilient and effective in demanding environments.
The RF Communications Engineer will design and develop specialist communications hardware for applications including secure communications, air defence, counter-UAS and space-based systems. Projects cover the full development cycle, from early technical concepts and system architecture through to circuit design, prototyping, integration and laboratory testing.
This role is suited to someone who enjoys working at both circuit and system level. As an RF Communications Engineer, you will build and debug RF hardware, investigate performance issues and work with antenna, signal processing, electronics and systems specialists to deliver complete communications products.
Our client is looking for strong fundamentals in RF communications and practical experience developing, testing and debugging RF circuits or systems. You should have a degree in electronics, electrical engineering or a related subject, alongside a hands-on approach and the ability to solve complex technical problems.
Experience with RF system simulation, antenna design or testing, and digital signal processing would be useful, although practical communications hardware experience is the main priority.
This RF Communications Engineer position offers access to dedicated RF laboratories and an anechoic chamber, alongside a broad range of technically varied projects. It would suit someone looking for greater ownership, exposure to different technologies and the opportunity to see their work progress into real-world deployment.
The package includes a profit-related bonus, 10% employer pension contribution, private medical cover and 25 days’ holiday.
