Introduction 

We are looking for an RF/uWave Senior Systems Design Engineer to join our Radio Systems Group. 

If you’re excited about developing a diverse range of RF products, delving into the intricate details of RF systems, and transforming visionary ideas into real-world solutions, then this role could be of interest to you. 

Cambridge Consultants has deep expertise in wireless communication technologies, with one of the largest independent wireless development teams in the world. We work across the entire wireless landscape - from high-volume consumer applications such as portable internet-based devices, through to professional high-performance systems such as the air traffic control radios used to govern the US airspace. The markets that we address include telecommunications, healthcare, industrial, satellite, consumer and automotive. This breadth of wireless activity provides tremendous variety to our team. 

 

The role 

 You’ll join a team of 7 other RF specialists, who are responsible for delivering designs that range from discrete designs and sub-modules through to complete radio hardware systems.  

You’ll also work closely with the various other disciplines - such as digital hardware, embedded software and DSP – to support the delivery of comprehensive radio systems. 

 As a Senior RF/uWave Systems Engineer, your job will be varied and there will be plenty of opportunity to develop and refine your RF skills. You will play a key role in the creation and development of new ground-breaking wireless systems and products, from initial concept through to successful delivery. 

 You can also expect to be involved in the following activities: 

  • Interfacing with internal project managers, technical authorities and external clients throughout the project lifecycle 
  • Defining, specifying, simulating and designing RF/uWave components and radio systems 
  • Designing and evaluating novel radio architectures 
  • Designing hardware such as radio modems and wireless devices 

 

What we can offer 

Clients come to us to define, design and deliver challenging telecommunications systems and thus, you will gain experience working on novel projects not common in most product companies. 

You will have the opportunity to work on ground-breaking wireless designs, examples of some previous, non-confidential projects are: 

 

You will also have access to our extensive world-class facilities. Should you attend a second-stage interview, we’ll provide a tour of the labs which support hardware development engineering during your visit. These labs include:  

  • SMT component assembly on PCB 
  • EMC emissions test facilities 
  • ≤8GHz 360° antenna test facility 
  • RF and mmWave labs  

 

Requirements 

 To be successful in this role, you will require a degree (or higher) in electronic engineering or a related discipline, with specific knowledge of RF/uWave radio systems development & circuit design.  

 In addition, we are looking for applicants with experience within the following areas: 

  • Analogue circuit design 
  • Radio architectures 
  • Circuit, system and EM simulation tools such as Microwave office, CST and HFSS 
  • Component specification and selection 
  • Component and radio debug and testing using equipment such as VNA’s, spectrum/signal analysers, signal generators etc 
  • Schematic capture with tools such as Altium 
  • Guiding PC board layout designers 
  • EVT/DVT/PVT testing and analysis 
  • Designing and testing to EMC and regulatory radio standards 
  • An understanding of radio link budgets 
  • Antenna design / EM design desirable 
  • Signal processing and communications theory

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
