Job Title
A senior antenna and RF design engineer position has become available at a leading RF Technology Group in Lincoln, UK.
This role involves working on the development of cutting-edge technologies such as active antenna systems, phased arrays, SATCOM, and space-related RF systems.
You will lead the development of antenna and RF subsystems from HF to SHF frequencies, including mixed-signal electronic systems comprised of both antennas and RF subsystems.
The ideal candidate will have experience with technical leadership, antenna/RF design and testing, EMC testing, and system modeling using tools like MATLAB.
Key Responsibilities
* Technical Lead: Manage projects, mentor junior staff, and lead design teams.
* Antenna Development: Simulations, prototype construction, testing, and production oversight.
* RF Product Development: Circuit design, component sourcing, testing, and preproduction support.
* Mixed Signal/System Development: PCB and digital subsystem design, custom testing tools, and performance modeling.
* Software Development: MATLAB-based system modeling and testing software creation.
* Reporting: Technical reports, customer presentations, and conference papers.
Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering (Master's or PhD preferred).
* 6+ years of experience with technical leadership, antenna/RF design and testing, EMC testing, and system modeling.
* Familiarity with product qualification, customer interaction, and tools like CST, HFSS, or FEKO.
* Proficient in English.
* Computer literacy: MATLAB, Windows, MS Office (Eagle or Altium preferred).
Benefits
This role offers a unique opportunity to work on groundbreaking technologies in a demanding but rewarding environment.
Candidates must be resilient, innovative, and eager to engage with global teams and complex design challenges.
