Description:
RF Design Engineer (Electronics / GPS Focus)
Leicester (Onsite)
£
We are working with a global technology-led organisation delivering advanced monitoring and security solutions, seeking an experienced RF Design Engineer to join their growing engineering team.
This is a high-impact product development role, where you will play a key part in designing and developing RF-based embedded hardware, with a particular focus on low-power wireless and GPS technologies.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for the design, development and testing of RF electronics across both existing products and next-generation solutions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and developing RF embedded hardware for wireless devices
- Working across the full lifecycle: concept design test approval
- Developing solutions focused on low-power, microcontroller-driven systems
- Supporting RF testing, simulation, and performance optimisation
- Collaborating with firmware, production and wider engineering teams
- Ensuring designs meet regulatory and approval requirements
- Supporting manufacturing, testing and product release
This is a technically demanding role – strong RF experience is essential.
Must-have:
- Proven experience in RF electronics design in a commercial environment
- Strong knowledge of low-power wireless systems and/or GPS technologies(critical – key gap in previous candidates)
- Experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers
- Solid understanding of RF simulation, testing and validation
- Experience with PCB design tools (Altium preferred)
- Strong fundamentals across electronics and hardware engineering
Nice to have:
- Embedded C / firmware exposure
- Experience in high-volume product development
- Familiarity with regulatory/type approval processes
Please note:
- Candidates must have hands-on RF design experience (not just theoretical)
- GPS and/or wireless communication expertise will be a key differentiator
- Due to the nature of the work, candidates must meet UK residency requirements
- Active SC Clearance is required (or eligibility to obtain it)
