We are seeking a Senior RF Engineer to join our team within the Hardware division at our laboratories.
This role will support development of new quantum sensor prototypes and products by developing custom microwave/RF electronics and antenna systems.
Reporting to the Lead Engineer (Hardware), the RF Engineer will contribute to our efforts to deploy software-ruggedised quantum gravimeters, accelerometers, and magnetometers.
* Develop custom RF & microwave electronics for quantum sensor prototypes and productisation.
* Design miniaturised RF electronics subsystems based on demonstrated bench-top prototypes.
* Model and simulate microwave/RF signal transmission to optimise system performance.
* Design, optimise, and fabricate custom antennas for near-field operation.
* Ensure electronics systems are ruggedised for operation in the field.
* Manage the delivery of complex hardware prototypes, taking responsibility for technical quality, performance, and reliability of the hardware.
* Lead and mentor hardware engineers and technicians.
Ideally you'll have:
* A Bachelors, Masters or PhD in Physics, Engineering or equivalent industry experience.
* Demonstrated track-record of developing circuit boards operating at RF/microwave frequencies.
* R&D experience working concurrently with scientists and engineers.
* Relevant CAD software/design experience is desirable but not essential.
* Experience modelling microwave transmission using CST studio or similar is desirable.
* Experience taking designs from prototype to production, including design for manufacture and product certification for global markets.
