Job description

Overview:

RF Embedded Systems Engineer needed to join a dedicated and passionate team at the forefront of antenna and RF system design, offering an exciting opportunity to work with next-generation technology in a fast-growing industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define system-level and sub-system requirements, including link budgets, G/T, and EIRP.
• Qualify and specify system components, including telecom 4G/5G radios, satcom LNAs, and BUCs.
• Collaborate with antenna and mechanical engineering teams to develop embedded software solutions for network acquisition, tracking, and antenna control.
• Oversee the entire product development lifecycle: requirements definition, software architecture, coding, system integration, testing, debugging, and optimization.
• Prepare technical documentation for design, analysis, integration, and testing.
• Provide technical expertise for business development and customer proposal preparation.
• Interpret and negotiate technical requirements with customers, defining solutions and trade-offs.
• Manage schedules, resources, and risks to ensure quality, on-time, and on-budget delivery.

What We’re Looking For:

• PhD or BSc in Physics, Electronic Engineering, or relevant field.
• Strong understanding of RF, radio, and antenna theory and engineering principles.
• Proven experience in RF, radio, and antenna product design.
• Advanced skills in embedded software development, preferably within the telecom industry.
• Proficiency in C/C++ (knowledge of Python, Java, or scripting languages is a plus).
• Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex, PIC, AVR) and DSPs.
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and multithreading.
• Skilled in debugging tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Hands-on experience with communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet).
• Knowledge of telecom, satcom, and tracking antennas.
• Familiarity with PCB schematics, wireless communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi), and low-level hardware integration.

What We Offer:

• Work with cutting-edge technology in a rapidly growing industry.
• Competitive salary, holiday allowance, and pension contributions.
• Opportunities for professional growth and fast career progression.
• Join a collaborative, innovation-driven team.
