Are you ready to lead and inspire a team of engineers at the cutting edge of RF design in the defence sector? We’re offering an exciting opportunity for a Team Lead within our expanding RF and Antenna Team.

  • Guide the team in the design and testing of RF circuits across a broad frequency range (e.g., 30 MHz to 30 GHz), including components such as LNA amplifiers, high-power amplifiers, filters, oscillators, and modulators.
  • Provide both technical and functional leadership, helping to develop high-performing teams and inspiring continuous innovation.
  • Oversee the planning and execution of RF design tasks, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
  • Work closely with other Team Leads, Group Leads, and Technical Experts to ensure alignment with project goals and company objectives.
  • Mentor and support your team, offering guidance on both technical and career development.
  • Collaborate with other departments to ensure designs meet the required standards for manufacture, testing, and integration.


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in leading complex RF design projects, with a strong understanding of RF components and systems.
  • Expertise in RF circuit design and testing across a wide frequency range (e.g., amplifiers, oscillators, filters, synthesizers).
  • Familiarity with RF and antenna design tools such as Microwave Office, HFSS, and relevant layout tools.
  • Strong knowledge of digital, analogue, and power supply design.
  • Solid understanding of modern Radio Transceiver System architecture and design.
  • Experience with manufacturing techniques and design for manufacturability.
  • Project management experience, with the ability to plan, organise, and oversee tasks using tools such as Excel, P6, or MS Project.
  • A flair for leadership and the ability to inspire and drive team performance.


Why Work in Defence?

  • Impactful Work: Be part of projects that directly contribute to national security and help protect our freedoms on a global scale.
  • Technological Innovation: Work with some of the most advanced technologies in RF and communications, and be part of pioneering solutions in the defence sector.
  • Career Development: The defence industry offers unparalleled opportunities for career progression and skills development, whether you’re looking to advance technically or in people management.
  • Job Stability and Benefits: Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including competitive salary, company bonus, enhanced pension contributions, and generous parental leave options. Plus, access to fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals and free parking.


What We Offer

  • Bonus: Up to 21% of base salary
  • Pension: Employer and employee contributions up to 14%
  • Parental Leave: Enhanced maternity, adoption, shared parental, paternity, neonatal, and fertility treatment leave
  • Training and Development: Exceptional career progression opportunities and ongoing professional development
  • Additional Benefits: Subsidised meals, free car parking, and more...
