An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior RF Engineer to join an advanced R&D environment developing next-generation satellite ground terminal systems. This role sits at the heart of RF, microwave, and antenna engineering, contributing across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to high-volume manufacturing.
You will play a key role in the design and development of gateway terminals and deployable flyaway systems operating across X, Ku, Ka, and Q/V bands. The position offers exposure to cutting-edge antenna reflector technology and the opportunity to contribute to future programmes, including defence-related systems.
As a Senior RF Engineer, you will take ownership of RF and antenna subsystem design, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver high-performance, production-ready solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Define RF and antenna design specifications based on system requirements and performance targets
- Design and develop RF/antenna subsystems, including antenna reflectors
- Perform electromagnetic simulation and analysis using industry-standard tools (e.g. CST, HFSS, CHAMP)
- Build and evaluate prototypes, optimising performance against specifications
- Carry out RF measurements and verification using equipment such as VNAs, spectrum analysers, and signal generators
- Support manufacturing with antenna performance verification and troubleshooting
- Collaborate with internal teams and external partners throughout development
- Provide technical support for field issues and attend customer sites when required
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years’ relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 3+ years’ experience
- Strong background in RF, microwave, and antenna engineering
- Proven experience designing RF/antenna solutions from requirements through to validation
- Hands-on experience with electromagnetic simulation tools (e.g. HFSS, CST)
- Practical experience using RF test and measurement equipment
- Ability to work cross-functionally and resolve complex technical challenges
- Strong documentation and reporting skills
Desirable Experience
- Reflector antenna design experience
- Korean language skills
Why Apply?
- Work on advanced satellite communication systems at the forefront of RF technology
- Influence products from early design through to production
- Collaborate with experienced engineers in a highly technical R&D environment
- Contribute to both commercial and defence-related programmes
If you’re an experienced RF Engineer looking to take on technically challenging work in satellite and antenna systems, this role offers a compelling next step.
