Rf Design Engineer

Stevenage | Hybrid Working | + Bonus + Excellent Benefits We're seeking a talented engineer to join a highly skilled team developing cutting-edge RF solutions for integration into complex weapons systems. This is an opportunity to be involved throughout the product lifecycle, from research and design through to testing, validation and prototype development, working on technology that directly supports critical defence capabilities.

The Role As an RF Design Engineer, you'll play a key role in the research, design, development and testing of advanced RF systems operating across a wide frequency range. You'll combine hands-on engineering expertise with innovative problem-solving to develop and enhance next-generation defence products.

Working within a collaborative multidisciplinary environment, you'll support the design of RF circuits, undertake laboratory testing and trials, and contribute to rapid prototyping and product improvement activities. Key Responsibilities Design and develop RF circuits and subsystems for advanced defence applications.

Conduct RF testing, verification and qualification activities within laboratory environments. Carry out board-level modifications, fault finding and prototype development. Support design proving, trials and performance validation.

Work closely with systems, hardware and manufacturing teams to deliver robust solutions. Produce technical reports, presentations and engineering documentation. Ensure designs are suitable for manufacture, test and deployment in challenging environments.

About You We're interested in engineers who can demonstrate: Strong RF design and test experience at component and circuit level. Experience designing RF systems across a broad frequency range. Knowledge of amplifiers, filters, oscillators, synthesisers and modulation techniques.

Experience designing for demanding environmental conditions, including EMC, thermal and vibration requirements. Hands-on experience using RF test equipment such as Spectrum Analysers, VNAs and Power Meters. Practical electronics skills including soldering, fault finding and board modifications.

Understanding of analogue, digital and power supply design. Experience with RF design and simulation tools such as Microwave Office. Knowledge of design for manufacture and test principles. Excellent communication and technical reporting skills.

If you're passionate about RF engineering and want to work on technology at the forefront of UK, we'd love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business known for developing world-class engineering solutions in a collaborative and supportive environment.
