As an RF/Microwave engineer, you will be responsible for
* Full hardware lifecycle for our products: from system concept, through detailed design and prototyping, test and verification, system integration and support in production.
* Creating high quality and robust designs, conducting design reviews for your design, fully documenting and recording your work products, keeping them under configuration management and providing plans and progress reports.
* Developing a range of multifunctional RF PCB and Module designs using the latest technologies available and enhancing your understanding of key design and manufacture processes.
* Designing to test, creating test prototypes for design validation, verification of development models and support for production test.
* Carrying out all detail design activities from requirements capture to design verification.
* Ensuring design reviews are completed successfully.
* Preparing robust manufacturing data packs and provide technical support to sub-contracts and engineering interface with manufacturing.
* Working closely with Systems, Test and Electronics engineers you will be solving real integration problems on advanced systems
You will ideally have some experience in the following areas;
* RF Microwave Sub-System Design.
* Microwave design tools – e.g. AWR, VSS, ADS, Systemvue, Matlab.
* EM 3D and 2D simulation techniques – e.g. CST.
* GaAs/GaN MMIC design and application
* RF Synthesiser design, using DDS and PLL technologies
* Design of passive microwave structures.
* Low phase noise design and measurement
* PCB schematic capture tools – e.g. Mentor.
* Lab measurements such as signal generation, spectrum analysis and vector network analysis
* Microwave component selection.
* Requirements capture and management.
* Technical report writing
* Design reviews and lifecycle management
* Design for manufacture and cost.
This role requires you to have achieved a first or second degree (BSc, BEng, MEng, MSc, PhD, EngD) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (preferable) or related science (e.g. Physics).
This role is subject to pre-employment screening in line with the UK Government’s Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS). An additional range of Personnel Security Controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV) may apply, this could include meeting the eligibility requirements for The Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV).
