2x RF / Microwave Hardware Engineer

DescriptionRole: 2x RF/ Microwave Hardware Engineer
Location: London
Remote work: 4x days onsite + 1x day remote
Salary: £40,000 - £65,000 dependant on skills + experience
We are seeking bright, innovative RF Design Engineers.
Your role will be required to design, simulate and realise RF [L-Band to microwave] circuits,
involving RF and schematic design and PCB layout for the next generation of Ku/Ka Antenna
Land Mobile Platforms whilst contributing to the wider system architecture.
You will be a part of a multidisciplinary team working with Antenna, ASIC, Systems and Product Engineers across a range of technologies.
Daily Tasks:
As a member of the hardware development team, your role will be to innovate, design, simulate, commission and productise hardware designs.
Depending on experience, you will take a lead role in developing and strengthening the existing engineering team with a strong background in RF electronic circuit design to arrive at a level of excellence for product development, delivery and cost-effective PCB designs.
To take ownership of hardware designs from helping to define requirements with the systems team, generating hardware specifications, schematic entry though to PCB layout, commissioning, verification and supporting integration into platforms.
Collaborate with the Antenna Team and fellow RF Engineers, including other disciplines such as power supply designers, software and systems to deliver an overall complete solution.
Perform design calculations and RF/Analogue simulations using industry standard tools [ADS, HFSS] in order to determine performance, identify high-risk areas and ensure reliable designs.
Support product design, software integration, validation and handover to production with other Engineering team members.
Ensure the products are designed for EMC, Environmental and other regulatory approvals and meet the requirements for volume manufacturing [DFT/DFM] - ideally for automotive applications.
Essential Skills:
A good first or upper 2nd Class degree [BEng/MEng] in Electronic/Electrical Engineering from a leading University.
At least 5 years' commercial product experience of complex Analogue and RF circuit design with a proven track record in the data communications, automotive or aerospace industries.
Ability to influence Systems Engineers and Product Managers to help define requirements generation to realise cost effective designs.
Strong technical knowledge of RF [to microwave frequencies] and Analogue circuit design from specification, characterisation, simulation through to systems integration and debug to deliver working designs
Competent in the use of ADS/HFSS for circuit design and simulation.
Highly capable in the design, analysis and characterisation of circuits and systems involving PLLs, frequency synthesizers, Modulators, De-Modulators, mixers, discrete filters, rat-races and integrating them into board-level designs
Understanding of key performance parameters.
Highly competent in the design and layout of impedance controlled, RF and analogue HDI PCB designs [to 14GHz]; knowledge of PCB substrate materials and stackup definition.
Familiarity with schematic capture tools such as Altium Designer and industry standard simulation tools such as TI-SPICE, HSPICE for analogue simulations.
Ability to liaise with and manage PCB layout engineers, fabricators and assembly houses.
Skilled at developing and implementing test plans and procedures for the testing of RF and mixed signal based products.
Conversant with product design for EMC
DFM/DFT for volume manufacture.
Competent practical experience in the use of test equipment such as scopes, spectrum analysers, PNAs, VNAs, signal generators, power meters.
