Shape the future of high-performance RF & Microwave satellite systems
We are seeking a Principal RF Design Engineer to act as a senior technical authority across our RF and Microwave product portfolio. This is a pivotal role for an experienced engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges, influencing product strategy, and mentoring others—while delivering real commercial impact.
Working within a highly skilled, multidisciplinary engineering environment, you will lead the design and development of advanced RF solutions spanning IF, L-, C-, X-, Ku-, K-, Ka- and Q/V-Bands, from concept through to fully productionised products.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead the design, simulation and development of RF and Microwave products across DC–6 GHz and into mmWave (>40 GHz).
- Solve complex RF design challenges that directly influence product performance, technology direction and business outcomes.
- Perform RF system analysis, including cascade analysis and frequency planning.
- Technically lead projects, working closely with mechanical, systems, digital and manufacturing teams.
What you’ll bring
- Extensive experience in RF & Microwave design, ideally from DC to >40 GHz.
- Deep understanding of RF circuit theory, transmission lines, PCB layout and passive/active networks.
- Hands-on experience designing amplifiers, splitters, switches, converters and RF subsystems.
- Proficiency with RF CAD tools such as NI/AWR Microwave Office.
- Strong practical skills using RF test equipment (VNAs, spectrum analysers, etc.).
- Proven ability to influence technical direction and lead complex engineering activities.
If you’re ready to take a senior technical leadership role where your RF expertise will make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
