Senior RF Test Engineer - Remote Opportunities

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Senior RF Test Engineer to join our growing development team in Cambridge, UK. This Senior RF Test Engineer remote role offers the opportunity to lead RF measurement, characterization, and validation of cutting-edge RF products. You will provide critical insights to design and systems teams, ensuring strong correlation between simulation and hardware performance.

What You'll Do

• Lead RF characterization and validation activities, conducting detailed measurements to evaluate and optimize product performance.
• Design, develop, and maintain robust and repeatable RF test setups for the characterization of RF modules and systems.
• Perform and analyze 3GPP-aligned RF measurements (LTE and/or NR) to assess transmitter and receiver performance.
• Provide measurement-driven feedback to RF design and systems teams to ensure strong correlation between simulation, design expectations, and hardware performance.
• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts to improve measurement efficiency, repeatability, and data integrity.
• Define and uphold RF measurement methodologies, lab best practices, and documentation standards.
• Troubleshoot complex RF measurement setups and hardware issues, supporting development and design reviews with measurement insights.
• Maintain the RF laboratory environment, including test infrastructure, equipment calibration, and measurement best practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
• Strong hands-on experience in RF testing, characterization, and validation of RF systems or modules.
• Practical experience with 3GPP-based measurements for cellular systems (LTE and/or NR).
• Solid understanding of RF fundamentals including S-parameters, impedance matching, gain, noise figure, and linearity.
• Proficiency with RF lab equipment (e.g., VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators) and developing repeatable automated test setups (Python/MATLAB or similar).
• Ability to interpret RF schematics, debug hardware, and analyze RF system trade-offs, with practical lab experience.
• Experience maintaining RF lab environments, including equipment calibration, test infrastructure, and measurement best practices.
• Experience leading measurement activities or mentoring engineers is desirable.

Nice to Have

• Experience in leading measurement activities or mentoring junior engineers.
• Familiarity with advanced RF simulation tools.
• Knowledge of emerging RF technologies.
