Senior RF Design Engineer

We are working with a leading innovator in high-speed communications technology to find an experienced Senior RF Design Engineer to join their team. This role focuses on the design and verification of cutting-edge high-speed signal transmission interfaces, playing a key role in next-generation telecoms applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and verification of high-speed signal transmission interfaces, including 56GBd/112GBd PAM4 low-loss interfaces with bandwidths up to 70GHz.
• Controlled impedance PCB trace design, pre/post-layout simulation, and integration with PCB CAD tools.
• RF simulation using tools such as Polar Si8000, Ansys HFSS, and Keysight ADS.
• PCB material selection, stack-up design, and optimisation in collaboration with suppliers.
• Analysis of insertion loss, return loss, and near/far-end crosstalk to ensure signal integrity.
• End-to-end RF chain simulation, including via transitions, IBIS models, and supplier S-parameter files.
• Hands-on VNA, spectrum analyser, and RF power meter testing for verification and debugging.
• Test automation, results capture, analysis, and presentation to internal teams.

Requirements:

• RF design experience, preferably within telecoms applications.
• Strong knowledge of high-speed PCB design and RF performance optimisation.
• Experience working with high-frequency signal integrity challenges and RF measurement techniques.
• Proficiency in RF simulation tools and PCB design collaboration.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work within a multidisciplinary team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior RF Design Engineer to contribute to advanced high-speed communication solutions within a dynamic and innovative environment.
