Skills and qualifications required Include:
- Ideally educated to degree level (or equivalent qualification) with a Radio Frequencies or Antenna design bias having obtained substantial experience in the following areas:
- A proven track record of practical antenna production.
- EM theory and expertise with EM simulation tools such as CST or HFSS.
- Transmission line theory, matching circuits, active and passive RF circuit design.
- Understanding of the designs and characteristics of various antenna types, with a proven track record of practical antenna production.
- Hands-on experience of S-parameter measurements and antenna pattern measurements, with the ability to instruct external test houses where appropriate.
- Whilst not essential, it would also beneficial if you could demonstrate some knowledge of practical RF design for UHF (and/or frequencies in excess of X-band) as well as Embedded and Miniaturised Antenna Design.
- Experience of EM propagation in multipath environments and channel modes would also be advantageous.
You should be able and willing to gain (UK Eyes only) security clearance, potentially to DV level in the future.
