Senior RF Systems Architect – Cambridge (Permanent)
We're recruiting for a hands-on Senior RF Systems Architect for a fast-paced semiconductor / RF technology business in Cambridge. They're stealthy about who they are, but the work is high-impact and technology first.
The Role
You will:
* Own how complex RF systems are architected from requirements through to validation.
* Define simulation coverage, measurement plans and corner-case verification in RF system design.
* Lead technical reviews and drive the resolution of problems (no hand-holding).
* Be accountable for system-level behaviour across RF front ends – driving performance, testability and delivery.
* Work across simulation, measurements and real-world test data to ensure designs meet spec.
This is NOT a junior role. You are expected to shape technical direction, make tough decisions and influence multi-discipline teams.
Must-haves
* Strong RF engineering fundamentals and systems-level mindset.
* Experience with RF simulation and measurement planning.
* Proven track record owning complex RF architectures through delivery.
* Confident communicator who can challenge and persuade.
Nice-to-haves
* Exposure to RF front-end semiconductor systems.
* Experience with multi-band / mobile / IoT connectivity platforms.
Package
Competitive salary (negotiable for the right candidate), good benefits and a tech-driven environment that won't waste your time.
Culture
No corporate fluff. They value delivery, clarity and real engineering chops over buzzwords.
