* Collaborate with sales and applications teams during customer engagement and quotation phases.
* Produce and review design documentation—test specs, data packs, design logs, compliance matrices, and peer reviews.
* Conduct verification and validation testing, including power handling, temperature tests, and tuning using VNAs.
* Take part in design reviews, contributing to quality, performance, and risk mitigation.
* Provide support for product introduction, manufacturing transfer, and troubleshooting as required.
Requirements:
* Degree (or equivalent) in RF, Communications, or a related engineering field.
* Experience in RF/microwave filter design.
* Strong knowledge of DFM, tolerance/yield analysis, and filter simulation tools (Microwave Office, CST, etc.).
* Hands-on experience with tuning, measurement equipment, and environmental testing.
* Eligibility for UK Security Check (SC) clearance.
Benefits Include:
* Hybrid working from the Leeds office
* Strong pension scheme
* Life assurance cover
