Radio Frequency Test Engineer in Maidenhead

Systems Test Engineer – Maidenhead – £40,000 to £55,000

When GPS and clean RF signals disappear most systems fail.

This team builds technology designed to survive exactly those conditions. They develop secure communication networks for harsh GPS denied environments such as underground mining. Their newest product is an RF based geofencing system that tracks people and heavy machinery and automatically stops equipment when someone enters a danger zone. It is safety critical tech and extremely challenging to test.

The engineering function in the UK is being rebuilt which means there is now room for a hands on Systems Test Engineer to help shape the next generation of products.

The opportunity

• Join a brand new Systems Test capability from the ground up
• Work across hardware software and RF testing in real world conditions
• Take products apart, put them back together and push them until they fail
• Contribute directly to technology that protects lives in unforgiving industrial environments
• Grow with the function as it expands and matures

What you will be doing

• System level integration and test
• Functional performance validation across electronics RF and software
• Environmental testing shock vibration and robustness checks
• Helping diagnose system issues and feeding improvements back into R&D
• Supporting customer deployments which may include short periods of travel

What we are looking for

• Hands on systems testing experience
• Background in RF electronics sensing or complex electro mechanical systems
• Curiosity, a problem solving mindset and comfort breaking things to make them better
• Suitable for juniors through to experienced engineers with strong testing fundamentals
• Will suit someone who wants real hands on work rather than sitting behind a desk

It\’s a genuine chance to influence how testing is done, gain exposure to cutting edge RF technology and also join at the right time; we\’ve just appointed a new CTO to consolidate R&D and set a multi-year plan for growth that is starting with this team here.
