Work directly with senior RF leaders on real antenna hardware - not just simulations - in a small, high-impact R&D team!
Our client is a specialist RF and antenna technology company building a new R&D capability in Lincoln, UK. This is a small, high-calibre engineering group working directly with senior technical leadership on complex RF and antenna challenges. The focus is on real product development, not theory, spanning antenna systems, RF subsystems and mixed-signal electronics, with collaboration across international engineering teams.
The Role – Junior RF & Antenna Design Engineer
As a Junior RF & Antenna Design Engineer, you’ll work closely with experienced engineers on the design and development of RF and antenna systems across a wide frequency range (HF to SHF). This Junior RF & Antenna Design Engineer role is hands-on – supporting simulation, design, prototyping and testing of real hardware, not just modelling.
You’ll be exposed to:
* Antenna and RF subsystem design (HF–SHF)
* Electromagnetic simulation (CST, HFSS, FEKO or similar)
* RF circuit design and mixed-signal electronics
* Lab-based testing, measurement and prototype build
* Collaboration with global engineering teams and end customers
What they’re looking for
* Degree in Electronic Engineering (ideally with RF/microwave or electromagnetics focus)
* Some exposure to RF/antenna design – academic or industry
* Familiarity with tools like CST, HFSS, ADS, AWR or similar
* Solid grounding in electromagnetics and RF fundamentals
* Practical mindset – comfortable building, testing and iterating hardware
* Someone who can learn quickly and contribute in a fast-moving environment
Why consider this Junior RF & Antenna Design Engineer role
* Direct access to senior technical leadership and complex design work
* Strong learning curve in a genuinely hands-on RF environment
* Small team, high impact – your work won’t be diluted
* Exposure to international projects and real-world applications
* A good step for someone early in their career who wants proper RF design experience, not just simulation work
