* Drive the prototyping and validation of RF packages, ensuring alignment with industry standards and next-generation system requirements
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., RF design, testing, and integration) to ensure seamless integration of RF components into functional devices by optimising package design for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and thermal performance
* Innovate and develop high-frequency packaging architectures, contributing to the strategic goals of CSA Catapult in telecommunications, defense, and sensing technologies
* Provide technical leadership for RF packaging projects, ensuring the delivery of key technical work packages on time and within budget
* Lead one or more projects simultaneously, working closely with the Project Manager to deliver technical work packages on time, quality, and cost
* Co-ordinate other members of the engineering and technology teams as part of an integrated project team, providing technical guidance and instruction
* Prepare technical requirements, specifications, and test plans, and assist in project delivery with other team members
* Perform design, test and validation activities in the labs at CSA Catapult’s Innovation Centre
* Technical reporting to the project team and a wider audience to demonstrate regular progress
* Consult with the Business Development team and customers to identify collaborative opportunities
* Plan projects, estimate resources to budget, and work on bids, technical proposals, and quotations, working closely with the bid team and commercial team
* Providing technical risk assessments
* Develop assembly procedures and processes to ensure consistent working standards across projects
* Develop new techniques to respond to the challenges generated during projects
* Present results and work to wide audiences to enhance the reputation of the catapult
