An established defence and electronic engineering organisation delivering complex, high-technology solutions across critical engineering programmes. The business supports the development and integration of advanced electronic systems where robust design, verification and operational performance are essential.
</br>
We are seeking an experienced RF Design Engineer to support the design, development and validation of RF and mixed-signal electronics for demanding defence applications.
</br>
The role offers practical ownership across the RF development lifecycle, from component selection and schematic design through to PCB integration, laboratory testing and system-level validation. You will work closely with electronics, PCB layout, systems, firmware and test specialists to develop reliable, production-ready solutions.
</br>
Key responsibilities
</br>
- </br>
- Design and develop RF analogue and mixed-signal electronics for complex engineering systems.
- </br>
- Develop transceiver and RF front-end architectures using monolithic RF chipsets, including MMIC, SiP and SoC-style devices.
- </br>
- Design RF schematics, component selections and impedance-matching networks against defined system requirements.
- </br>
- Work with PCB layout engineers on signal integrity, grounding, shielding, routing and manufacturability.
- </br>
- Plan and execute laboratory verification using VNAs, spectrum analysers, RF signal generators, power meters and oscilloscopes.
- </br>
</br>
Experience across every aspect of the role is not essential; on-the-job learning and support will be available for candidates looking to broaden their RF design capability.
</br>
If you are an experienced RF Design Engineer with a background in RF electronics, wireless hardware, transceiver development, impedance matching, PCB integration or laboratory validation across defence, aerospace, telecommunications or other high-technology environments, please apply with your CV or contact us for a confidential discussion.
