About the Role:
As Senior RF Systems Engineer, you will establish and own the complete radio-link budget and end-to-end performance baseline across terrestrial and space-based platforms. Operating in a hybrid setting, you will model coverage, link performance, propagation effects, and system impairments at scale. You will partner collaboratively with cross-domain teams spanning RAN, antenna, payload, and satellite specialists, ensuring solutions are robust and measurable whilst translating complex requirements into clear technical specifications.
About the company:
Operating within the aerospace sector, this established pioneer delivers advanced robotics, satellite systems, and observation technologies for complex global missions. Collaborating with international industry leaders, they leverage cutting-edge space and communications infrastructure.
Compensation, Benefits & Opportunities:
- Establish link budget baselines from the ground up for an ambitious space-based communications venture.
- Join an organisation at a pivotal point of expansion, contributing technical insight that directly enables large-scale programme funding.
- Operate as an influential technical authority, shaping complex radio architectures alongside respected leaders across telecommunications and aerospace.
- Experience an agile, distributed culture that champions technical depth and deliberate engineering debate without the burden of administrative people management.
- Participate in initiatives bridging terrestrial mobile operators and non-terrestrial infrastructure to solve sovereign connectivity challenges.
To Be Successful, You’ll Need
- Proven background in radio frequency systems engineering with dedicated expertise in link budgets, radio propagation analysis, and cellular network performance across generations up to 5G.
- Strong practical capability translating complex service and environmental parameters into measurable radio specifications while maintaining collaborative working partnerships across engineering domains.
- Demonstrated technical authority delivering decisive RF modelling, noise calculations, and interference trade-offs, with exposure to non-terrestrial networks or satellite communications serving as a plus.
