Radio Frequency Engineer

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)
