Product Engineer – RF / Semiconductor
Cambridge | Permanent | Full Time
We’re hiring a Product Engineer for a well-funded, venture-backed RF semiconductor company in Cambridge. They’re building next-generation RF technology for connected devices. High technical bar. Fast pace. No passengers.
The Role You sit between product definition and engineering delivery.
Your job is simple in principle:
Make sure complex RF products move from concept to manufacturable, testable, customer-ready hardware — without losing integrity along the way.
You will:
Translate customer and system requirements into clear engineering specs.
Own product-level performance targets and assumptions.
Act as the technical focal point across RF, IC, software, algorithms, test and manufacturing.
Ensure traceability between requirements, simulations, measurements and validation.
Define validation strategy (lab, OTA, corner cases).
Support NPI, DfM, DfT and yield discussions.
Help generate datasheets, reference designs and customer documentation.
Identify risks early and drive mitigation.This is not a coordination role. You need technical depth and the confidence to challenge decisions.
What They’re Looking For
Degree in Electrical or RF Engineering (or similar).
Strong experience with RF systems, RF modules or mixed-signal / analog IC products.
Solid understanding of RF measurement, validation and performance trade-offs.
Experience working across multiple engineering disciplines.
Ability to turn high-level requirements into executable engineering actions.
Structured, organised and comfortable owning outcomes.Useful Experience
RF front-end modules (mobile, IoT, wireless connectivity).
Semiconductor or module manufacturing flows.
Product lifecycle ownership from prototype to release.
Customer-facing technical support.Environment Scale-up pace. High ownership. Low bureaucracy.
You’ll work closely with engineering, NPI, and commercial teams. If you need layers of process and slow decision cycles, this isn’t it.
Package:
Competitive salary + share options + pension.
