Job Description
An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Antenna & RF Design Engineer to join a growing international technology group developing advanced RF, microwave and antenna solutions for mission-critical applications across defence, aerospace, security, space, telecommunications and government sectors.
The organisation is investing in a brand-new UK Research & Development capability that will focus on solving some of the most technically challenging RF and antenna engineering problems across a global portfolio of innovative products.
Working within a small team of highly experienced engineers, you will collaborate with international engineering teams and customers to develop next-generation RF systems, antenna technologies and integrated electronic solutions from concept through to production.
This is a rare opportunity to work on genuinely cutting-edge RF and antenna developments including phased arrays, electronic warfare, SATCOM, direction finding and advanced RF systems, whilst helping to mentor and develop the next generation of engineers.
This role would suit an experienced RF Design Engineer, Antenna Engineer, Microwave Engineer or Senior Electronic Design Engineer with a strong background in RF and antenna design who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges and leading technical development projects.
Main Responsibilities of the Senior Antenna & RF Design Engineer (Lincoln):
Lead the design and development of advanced antenna and RF subsystem projects from concept through to production
Act as technical lead on complex engineering programmes, providing technical direction and mentoring junior engineers
Design RF and microwave circuits including filters, amplifiers, switches and associated subsystems
Develop antenna solutions across HF through to SHF frequency ranges for demanding applications
Carry out RF, antenna and system modelling using industry-standard simulation tools
Develop mixed-signal electronic systems incorporating RF, digital control and power subsystems
Produce technical proposals, system architectures and customer-facing engineering documentation
Oversee prototype manufacture, integration, laboratory testing and field measurements
Support product qualification including functional, environmental and EMC testing programmes
Collaborate closely with customers and international engineering teams to deliver innovative technical solutions
Present technical findings, reports and project updates to customers and senior stakeholders
Support technology development across future product roadmaps and emerging market opportunities
Requirements of the Senior Antenna& RF Design Engineer (Lincoln):
Proven experience designing RF and microwave systems, antenna products or RF subsystems within a commercial engineering environment
Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, RF engineering principles and antenna design
Experience leading engineering development projects from concept through to production
Experience using one or more RF simulation and modelling tools such as CST Studio Suite, HFSS, FEKO, Keysight ADS, Microwave Office or similar
Experience with RF testing, antenna measurements and product validation
Knowledge of EMC design principles and product qualification testing
Experience working directly with customers on technically challenging engineering projects
Strong technical documentation and report writing skills
Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with a hands-on engineering approach
Ability to mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within multidisciplinary project teams
Experience within one or more of the following technology areas would be highly advantageous:
RF & Microwave Engineering
Antenna Design
Active Antenna Systems
Electronic Warfare (EW)
Direction Finding Systems
Defence Electronics
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Mixed Signal Electronics
RF System Modelling
Advanced Electronic Design
