Are you an RF engineer who designs circuits and systems at mmWave frequencies, and wants to work on products that go into real networks?
My client is a well-established RF and mmWave technology company with a growing design team in Cambridgeshire. They design and build high-frequency products used in telecoms, defence and space, working at 60GHz and 110GHz. They’re looking for a Principal RF Engineer to lead RF circuit and system design from concept through to production. This is a hands‑on senior role: you’ll design the circuits and also guide the technical direction of the team.
Responsibilities
- Lead RF circuit and system design for mmWave products (E-band and W-band)
- Design and simulate RF building blocks: amplifiers, mixers, multipliers, filters and transitions
- Own RF system architecture, link budgets and cascade analysis
- Take designs from simulation through to prototype, test and production
- Carry out lab characterisation and fault-finding at mmWave frequencies
- Work closely with systems, mechanical and production engineers
- Mentor and support other RF engineers in the team
Technical Requirements
- Extensive RF circuit and system design experience at mmWave frequencies (ideally 60GHz and above)
- Strong background in active and passive RF design, not purely antenna design
- Hands‑on with RF and EM simulation tools (e.g. ADS, AWR Microwave Office, HFSS, CST)
- Experience with mmWave lab test: VNAs, spectrum analysers, noise figure and power measurements
- Track record of taking RF products into production
- Degree in Electronic Engineering or similar (PhD welcome but not essential)
- Looking for a permanent position
