Work as part of a close-knit, multi-disciplinary project team focused on delivering design solutions to our clients
Some interesting RF and electronics challenges that we’ve previously solved include:
Collaborating with LEGO to develop LEGO® SMART Play™
Prototyping large airborne antennas for global 5G coverage.
Creating secure satellite communication systems.
Overcoming smart meter challenges for the last 5% by developing a custom ZigBee to Long-Range Radio Bridge
Developing a novel air-interface and bespoke communication systems for the Ocado Smart Platform controlling hundreds of robots in grocery distribution centres
Next-generation Explosive Ordnance Disposal for the British Army
What you can bring
We are looking for someone currently studying towards , or recently graduated from, a MEng degree in Electronic Engineering or a closely related discipline, on track to achieve or having achieved a 2.1 or above. We also welcome applications from recent graduates with industrial experience.
You will also have:
A solid foundation in electronic principles with an RF leaning.
Familiarity with RF test equipment (such as spectrum analysers and network analysers).
While not essential requirements, we would also be very interested if you have experience with any of the following:
Knowledge of RF simulation tools
E xperience in electronics design and schematic capture
An understanding of RF measurements and lab-based debugging
A motivated and detail-oriented engineer who is confident working in a hands-on laboratory environment will thrive in this role.
