What We’re Looking For:

- Experience: Radio Frequency design or related roles within a commercial environment.

- Technical Expertise: Proficiency in PCB design software and RF simulation tools; experience with RF amplifiers, filters, antennas, and EMC; and solid understanding of analogue and digital electronics.
