Senior RF Design Engineer Location: Paignton, Devon (onsite)
Up to £80k + share options + benefits
This is a new electronics design engineer position that requires excellent RF design experience.
A senior RF design engineer is required to join a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency.
This RF design engineer role requires:
* Excellent RF schematic capture experience, working on high bandwidth circuits for very highspeed network hardware.
* Experience of signal integrity, managing losses, impedance and managing material usage to optimise electronics design.
* You will work with suppliers to oversee, approve and deliver PCB layouts and will be involved with pre and post layout simulation and validation.
* Experience of using tools such as Ansys HFSS or ADS.
* Experience of working on the development of high speed network electronics would be preferred (e.g. .InfiniBand products, optical transceivers, Network interface cards (NICs), Routers (highspeed backbone and edge routers), Switches (highspeed ethernet etc.)
You will need a strong RF electronics design background and experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver products would be great (see above)
RF design candidates may have worked in other arenas involving highspeed network technologies (e.g. network, and data centre hardware, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products).
Skills / Experience required: Senior RF Design Engineer
* A degree or masters in a relevant subject area (e.g. electronics engineering)
* Experience of electronics / RF design for products used in high-speed networking applications – e.g. optical transceivers, network / data centre electronics, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products
* Excellent RF schematic capture experience, working on high bandwidth circuits for very highspeed network hardware.
* Experience of signal integrity, managing losses, impedance and managing material usage to optimise electronics design.
* You will work with suppliers to oversee, approve and deliver PCB layouts and will be involved with pre and post layout simulation and validation.
* Experience of using tools such as Ansys HFSS, ADS and PADS.
* Mixed signal hardware design experience. In addition, experience of high-speed optical transceiver design would be preferred.
* Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills.
* The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation
* Knowledge of highspeed network interface design and optical transceiver systems would be preferable
The RF design engineer role is based on site in Paignton, Devon 5 days per week. Relocation assistance and working visas may be possible for the right candidate.
