Filtronic delivers cutting-edge RF and mmWave solutions that power the future of high-frequency communications. From satellite links to next-generation sensing systems, we design and manufacture high-performance components and subsystems—including SSPAs, filters, and transceivers—ensuring seamless connectivity and precision at the highest frequencies.

Responsible for the design of RF/mmW elements and systems, ensuring that electrical performance, quality, cost and manufacturability requirements are met.

Summary of Responsibilities:

• Full responsibility for the design and development of RF/mmW sub-circuits, sub-modules and systems within telecommunications and defence products.
• Detailed RF/mmW specification, design, simulation, and realisation, ideally including:
• Filters (range of topologies)
• Electromechanical product concept design in collaboration with mechanical design team
• Design of support electronics & layout of high frequency printed circuit boards in collaboration with electronics/PCB design team
• System line-up analysis.
• Thermal, MTBF and component derating analysis and reporting in line with company/customer requirements.
• The compilation and checking of design documentation, example: design logbooks, data packs, peer review etc. in preparation for design release and production.
• To deliver fully verified and documented designs in line with project defined technical, schedule and cost constraints.
• Preparing and reviewing tollgate documentation, ensuring the standard according to the NPI procedure is achieved and that reports are progressed and updated throughout the project.
• To proactively participate in design reviews and to initiate design reviews to mitigate risk when appropriate.
• To undertake all aspects of design verification and validation including preparation of test specifications, test reports and reliability testing/evaluation.
• To maintain an up to date, comprehensive design compliance matrix, referencing robust evidence of compliance data for assigned designs.
• Problem-solving and fault diagnosis of manufactured products during product introduction – including definition and train-out of diagnostic procedures.

Requirements

• Relevant Degree (or equivalent) preferably RF/Communications Engineering.
• Experience using RF design tools such as Microwave Office, CST, EMPro and ADS
• Demonstrable experience of microwave circuit/system design including line-up analyses, tolerance/yield analysis and DFM.
• Experience in transceiver product design.
