Radio Frequency Engineer – Aerothermal – Full time – Hybrid – Bristol
As a Radio Frequency Engineer – Aerothermal at Rolls‑Royce, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of advanced defence capability through the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). This specialised role focuses on computational analysis, aerothermal performance, and cross‑disciplinary design to support next‑generation propulsion systems.
What You Will Be Doing
* Define and translate radio frequency (RF) requirements into practical design constraints, ensuring alignment with adjacent functional disciplines and rig test requirements.
* Develop and assess powerplant concepts that meet RF demands, applying advanced analytical methods to support robust, optimised solutions across platform and powerplant levels.
* Collaborate across engineering functions to reduce technical risk, perform electromagnetic analyses, and carry out verification and validation activities to ensure requirements are met.
* Lead the capture, management and communication of RF technical knowledge, including modelling, test data, reporting and evidence cataloguing to maintain technical integrity throughout the lifecycle.
Who We’re Looking For
* Hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics or Engineering (or regional equivalent), or demonstrate equivalent experience.
* Have strong technical knowledge in electromagnetic analysis and design methodologies, with awareness of cross‑discipline concepts such as manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, mechanical/thermal analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
* Have experience using commercial Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) tools such as FEKO, CST or HFSS, with a good understanding of the strengths and limitations of different analysis fidelities.
* Apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking to solve complex technical problems and make balanced decisions across both technical and business considerations.
* Communicate effectively, with the ability to present complex information clearly and confidently to stakeholders at all levels.
* Hold a Security Check clearance; or be eligible for support to obtain one.
We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.
