Senior RF Antenna Engineer

Overview

In this role you will design and optimize antenna arrays, feeds and printed RF structures to support beam-steering systems for communications and radar. You will work across design, prototyping, and lab measurement, collaborating with hardware, software and mechanical teams to move ideas from prototype to deployable product. Through hands-on measurement and comparison with simulations, you’ll improve performance and robustness of antenna systems. This position offers hybrid working and exposure to cutting-edge RF design, simulation, and verification in a growing technology area.
