Who this role is best for

RF hardware specialists with end-to-end design experience will find this R&D role in robotics and autonomous systems a strong fit.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with RF circuit design experience and a preference for hardware R&D over telecom operations
    — “not RF professionals coming from telecom network or operations backgrounds”
  • Engineers comfortable with lab-based prototyping and validation workflows
    — “Comfort in a lab environment: testing, debugging and validating RF hardware”
  • Individuals with cross-functional project execution skills in wireless product development
    — “Collaborate with firmware, mechanical and product teams to take designs from concept to production”

How to stand out

  • Highlight end-to-end RF design process ownership in your resume projects
    — “Own the RF design process end to end: schematic design, simulation, PCB layout support, prototyping and validation”
  • Quantify signal integrity optimization achievements in your work history
    — “Troubleshoot and optimise RF performance across frequency bands, power output and signal integrity”
  • Demonstrate familiarity with EMC/RF certification procedures during interviews
    — “Support pre-compliance and certification testing (EMC/RF)”

About the role

Original posting from Cygnify via Ashby

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are partnering with a fast-growing wireless technology company building advanced RF communication systems that power robotics, drones and autonomous platforms worldwide. As they scale their engineering team, they're looking for an RF Design Engineer to join their R&D function and help push the boundaries of long-range, high-reliability wireless connectivity.

This is a hands-on, design-focused role. It suits engineers who love working inside the RF circuit itself, not RF professionals coming from telecom network or operations backgrounds.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Design and develop RF circuits, modules and subsystems for next-generation wireless products
  • Own the RF design process end to end: schematic design, simulation, PCB layout support, prototyping and validation
  • Run bench testing using spectrum analysers, network analysers and other RF lab equipment
  • Troubleshoot and optimise RF performance across frequency bands, power output and signal integrity
  • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical and product teams to take designs from concept to production
  • Support pre-compliance and certification testing (EMC/RF)

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, RF Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field
  • Hands-on experience designing RF circuits, not just working with RF at a network or operations level
  • Working knowledge of RF simulation and design tools (e.g. ADS, HFSS or similar)
  • Comfort in a lab environment: testing, debugging and validating RF hardware
  • A genuine interest in wireless communications hardware and R&D

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with mesh networking, long-range radio systems or embedded wireless products
  • Exposure to antenna design or RF-focused PCB layout
  • Background in defence, robotics, drone or industrial IoT hardware
