Principal/Lead RF engineer

You will take a leading role in the design and development of RF/mmWave circuits, modules and subsystems, ensuring products meet performance, quality, cost and manufacturability targets. The successful candidate will provide technical leadership across multiple projects, support junior engineers and contribute towards continuous improvement of engineering processes and best practice.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead the design and development of RF/mmWave circuits, assemblies and systems.

* Own RF specifications, simulation activities, design implementation and verification.

* Carry out system analysis including gain line-up, tolerance and yield analysis.

* Support component selection including active devices, MMICs and RF technologies.

* Work closely with PCB, mechanical, manufacturing and test teams to ensure robust product delivery.

* Produce and review technical documentation including design packs, peer reviews and release data.

* Lead technical reviews and identify potential design or project risks.

* Support validation, environmental testing and product introduction activities.

* Investigate and resolve technical issues during development and production phases.

* Ensure projects are delivered in line with technical, programme and commercial requirements.

* Mentor and support less experienced engineers within the team.

Experience Required

* Degree qualified in Electronics, RF/Microwave Engineering, Communications Engineering or similar.

* Strong background in RF or microwave circuit/system design.

* Experience using RF simulation and design tools such as ADS, CST, Microwave Office or similar.

* Good understanding of RF system analysis, design for manufacture and tolerance analysis.

* Experience with RF modules, amplifiers, transceivers, filters or subsystems would be advantageous.

* Ability to provide technical leadership within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a hands-on engineering mindset.

* Confident communicator, comfortable working across engineering, manufacturing and project teams
