Alaris, the RF Technology Group, is expanding by opening a new R&D capability based out of our site in Lincoln, UK. A small, highly capable team will be established to work directly with the Group CTO on the most challenging design problems that the Group has to face and grow our product offerings in the RF and antenna system space. We are looking for the best-of-the-best - motivated and energetic individuals - to work on the most exciting new antenna and RF technologies. You will be working with customers based all over the world and collaborating closely with engineers based in our various sites in Europe, the USA and Africa. If your passion is to tackle difficult problems with an innovative and energetic spirit, then this is the place for you As a senior antenna and RF design engineer, you will lead the development of antenna and RF subsystems from HF to SHF frequencies, as well as more complex mixed signal electronic systems comprised of both antennas and RF subsystems. Our activities are expected to cover such diverse domains as active antenna systems; radio direction finding; phased array antennas and AESAs; electronic countermeasures; SATCOM and space-related RF and antenna developments. There will be an opportunity to develop your skills in systems engineering as part of the role.
