Principal RF Design Engineer

My client has nearly two decades of technical developments within the Cambridge area and is known as a distinguished organisation in producing top-specification low-power communication handsets. These devices are used in mission-critical conditions and have to ensure durability and reliability in the most testing and remote environments.

You will be working in a growing team, currently consisting of 5 RF engineers, and mixing with a larger, diverse range of engineering backgrounds. With 37 current projects being undertaken, consisting of improvement of existing projects and cutting-edge greenfield developments within new products, you'll certainly never be shy of work. Therefore, my client requires a principal RF engineer who can undertake all areas of design, development, and production aspects, who can effectively communicate with others across multiple disciplines.

The main duties of this role:

• End to end technical analysis of RF power amplifiers in the capacity of 50+ MHz
• Working on low-power battery handsets
• Work on rugged testing of RF mobile projects
• Analyse technical requirements
• Hands-on integration of power amplifier (PA) and TX into radio solution
• Clarification of specifications and external sourcing
• Develop solutions for design and integration issues
• Work in a multi-skilled team to support the design and testing of products
• Experience within a scale-up environment
• Experience within mobile and/or base stations
• Analogue and handset design
• Experience of RF simulation tooling
• WiFi or Bluetooth design
• Power supply design
• Experience with MATLAB or Simulink
