Leicester (Onsite)
£50,000-55,000
We are working with a global technology-led organisation delivering advanced monitoring and security solutions, seeking an experienced RF Design Engineer to join their growing engineering team.
This is a high-impact product development role, where you will play a key part in designing and developing RF-based embedded hardware, with a particular focus on low-power wireless and GPS technologies.
The Role
You'll be responsible for the design, development and testing of RF electronics across both existing products and next-generation solutions.
Key responsibilities include:
* Designing and developing RF embedded hardware for wireless devices
* Working across the full lifecycle: concept ? design ? test ? approval
* Developing solutions focused on low-power, microcontroller-driven systems
* Supporting RF testing, simulation, and performance optimisation
* Collaborating with firmware, production and wider engineering teams
* Ensuring designs meet regulatory and approval requirements
* Supporting manufacturing, testing and product release
This is a technically demanding role - strong RF experience is essential. xsngvjr
Must-have:
* Proven experience in RF electronics design in a commercial environment
* Strong knowledge of low-power wireless systems and/or GPS technologies (critical - key gap in previous candidates)
* Experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers
* Solid understanding of RF simulation, testing and validation
* Experience with PCB design tools (Altium preferred)
* Strong fundamentals across electronics and hardware engineering
Nice to have:
* Embedded C / firmware exposure
* Experience in high-volume product development
* Familiarity with regulatory/type approval processes
Please note:
* Candidates must have hands-on RF design experience (not just theoretical)
* GPS and/or wireless communication expertise will be a key differentiator
* Due to the nature of the work, candidates must meet UK residency requirements
* Active SC Clearance is required (or eligibility to obtain it)
