About

Senior Antenna / RF Engineer Location: Lincoln, Lincolnshire, UK An excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Antenna / RF Engineer to join a newly established R&D capability within a leading global RF technology group. This role focuses on the design, simulation, and development of advanced antenna and RF subsystems across HF to SHF frequencies for applications including defence, aerospace, naval, space, and high-reliability electronic systems. This position is ideal for a highly motivated, innovative, and hands-on engineer with extensive RF and antenna experience, who thrives on solving complex technical challenges, mentoring junior engineers, and shaping the development of a growing UK R&D team. Main Responsibilities of the Senior Antenna / RF Engineer based in Lincoln, UK: Lead the design, simulation, and development of antenna and RF systems from concept through to final delivery, including prototyping, testing, and production handover. Act as technical lead on projects, managing design activities, making architectural decisions, and mentoring junior engineers. Develop mixed-signal and system-level designs, including digital control and power subsystems, custom test hardware, and RF circuits (filters, amplifiers, switches). Conduct PCB layout, population, and construction of prototypes. Perform RF, antenna, and EMC testing, and oversee product qualification including environmental and functional testing. Collaborate with electronics, systems, and other engineering disciplines to integrate solutions and ensure high-performance outcomes. Produce technical reports, customer-facing documentation, and present findings internally or externally at conferences. Support proposal generation, requirements development, conceptual design, and design reviews with customers and management. Requirements of the Senior Antenna / RF Engineer based in Lincoln, UK: Extensive experience in RF and microwave engineering and antenna system design. Proficient in simulation and design tools such as CST, HFSS, Keysight Microwave Office, ADS, or similar. Experience in MATLAB for modelling and analysis is highly desirable. Strong practical, hands-on experience with real-world RF and antenna projects, including prototyping and test equipment development. Experience leading design projects and mentoring junior engineers. Comfortable working collaboratively across teams and communicating effectively with customers and senior management. Experience in defence-related applications preferred; telecoms/network engineering not required. Flexible, resilient, and highly accountable with a mission-oriented approach.
