JOB DESCRIPTION: RF Design Engineer, Analogue Design Engineer – Radars, Defence, Aerospace

We are part of a Global Aerospace and Defence company designing innovative electronic products and systems and we need your help.

Due to pending retirement of one of our existing RF / Analogue Design Engineers, we are looking to hire an additional experienced RF Engineer who will concentrate on the detailed design of Analogue / RF electronic circuits to a discrete component level. There will be a great handover period too with the existing RF Engineers.

We already have a strong internal R&D team – made up of three main areas:

• Hardware: Two Analogue/RF Engineers (both seniors), one Mechanical Engineer, one firmware (FPGA) Engineer and one PCB CAD Technician.
• Software: Seven Software Engineers (four Embedded Software Engineers, three PC/Server Engineers)
• Test and Acceptance: Four software test, four product testers (who also engage in the development of automated test systems having a mix of hardware and software skills)

We also have a great Project Engineer who coordinates project activities, scheduling, and project reporting – to help you maximise your time.

Our systems engineering team contains another three engineers (two with core skills in electronics, one in embedded software) who primarily work on our R&D activities.

Across the R&D team, we have a great mix of junior and senior engineers here and encourage and support everyone’s individual career development.

Your background: RF Design Engineer, Analogue Design Engineer – Radars, Defence, Aerospace

• You will have practical experience in the detailed design of analogue / RF electronic circuits at discrete component level
• You will be comfortable performing RF modelling and simulation
• An appreciation of printed circuit board (PCB) design for RF circuits
• A strong personal interest in design and technology
• The ability for you to problem solve / use your own initiative

If you have any experience of the following too ….

• Design of filters, VCOs, amplifiers and mixers within the VHF band
• Experience of collaborating with embedded software engineers providing the software control and monitoring of analogue / RF circuits
• The knowledge to guide PCB designers with the placement and layout of critical circuits
• Appreciation of designing for prototype and production testing – we manufacture on site you can be really involved with that!
• Exposure to both small signal and large signal RF design techniques spanning receiver front end to transmitter power amplifier in the VHF band
• Understand various analogue and digital modulation techniques and their application to communications systems

THE COMPANY:

We are part of a multinational $B corporation which offers truly endless possibilities for career advancement. As a global leader in the civil and military aviation and communication sector, we provide advanced technology and innovative products to civil, defence, international military, and governmental customers including NATO and the MOD.
