Junior RF Design Engineer – Satellite Communications
High-Frequency RF | 10GHz+ | London Area | Permanent role
Are you an early-career RF Engineer looking to deepen your experience in high-frequency and satellite communications systems?
We’re exclusively partnered with a leading Satellite Communications Engineering organisation based in the London area. This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly capable R&D team working on next-generation RF technologies used across satellite communications, aerospace, government, marine and opto-electronic applications.
The Opportunity
As a Junior RF Design Engineer, you’ll work closely with senior and lead engineers on the design, development and testing of high-frequency RF and microwave systems (10GHz+). This role is ideal for someone who wants to build real-world engineering experience, develop strong lab skills, and contribute to full lifecycle product development.
You’ll be exposed to:
* RF and microwave circuit and system design
* Lab-based testing and measurement
* SDR concepts, RF-over-fibre and high-frequency architectures
* Supporting designs from concept through to validation and production
This is a hands-on role with strong technical mentorship and long-term development potential.
We’re Looking For:
* 2–4 years’ experience in RF / Microwave Engineering or a PhD graduate with strong practical and lab-based skills
* Degree or PhD in Electronics, RF, Microwave, Wireless Communications or similar
* Experience (academic or commercial) with RF design and testing
* Familiarity with RF measurement and test equipment such as:
* Vector Network Analysers (VNA)
* Spectrum analysers
* Signal generators
* Exposure to RF simulation and modelling tools
* A practical, curious mindset with a desire to learn and develop technically
Experience in Ka-band or satellite communications is advantageous but not essential.
Location
London area – commutable from Hertfordshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire.
