Senior / Principal / Chief RF Engineer - Permanent, Hybrid (Cambridge area)
Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of RF technology? Whether it's advanced robotic systems, sensors for autonomous drones, mobile ad-hoc radio networks, emergency service communications, IoT sensors, or even airborne and space-based radar - you'll have the opportunity to work on projects that are as varied as they are technically challenging.
This is an opportunity to join a leading UK technology consultancy that thrives on innovation. No two projects are ever the same - if you're an adaptable, curious engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and bringing new ideas to life, this could be the ideal next step.
The Role
We're seeking an experienced RF Electronics Engineer to play a key role in the design, development, and testing of new RF-based systems and products. You'll work closely with a multi-disciplinary team, turning cutting-edge concepts into working prototypes and commercial solutions.
You'll also have the confidence to communicate complex technical ideas clearly to clients and colleagues from non-technical backgrounds.
Our facilities include state-of-the-art labs with advanced RF test and measurement equipment - spectrum and network analysers, anechoic chambers, and more - all designed to help you deliver your best work.
