Introduction  

The RF Systems Group is responsible for delivering designs that range from small RF sub-modules through to complete wireless systems. The collaborative group works alongside other disciplines to deliver these services to clients and are therefore fortunate to work closely with a wide range of groups across the company.  

Cambridge Consultants has deep expertise in wireless communication technologies, with one of the largest independent wireless development teams in the world. We work across the entire wireless landscape - from high-volume consumer applications such as portable internet-based devices, through to professional high-performance systems such as the air traffic control radios used to govern the US airspace. The markets that we address include telecommunications, healthcare, industrial, satellite, consumer and automotive. This breadth of wireless activity provides tremendous variety to our team.  

Successful candidates can join us on a 6 or 12 month industrial placement.

The role involves contributing to RF systems design, board-level RF circuit design and design validation of our clients' products.  

You will have the opportunity to work on ground-breaking wireless designs, for example:  

Developing a novel air-interface and bespoke communication systems for the Ocado Smart Platform controlling hundreds of robots in grocery distribution centres  Prototyping the world's largest commercial airborne antenna to deliver superfast 5G to every corner of the globe  Developing the Iridium Extreme satellite phone, the first truly-global 'push-to-talk' mobile communications system  

Some of your responsibilities will include:  

Component selection, board level RF circuit design and laboratory-based design validation  Prepare component level RF systems specifications for wireless systems, under supervision  Participate in the regulatory approval and/or field based design validation of our clients' products  Where appropriate, create novel design solutions that will be of particular interest to our clients  As required, present designs, results and conclusions   Work as part of a close-knit, multi-disciplinary project team focused on delivering design solutions to our clients  What you can bring  

We're looking for a student currently pursuing a degree in a relevant field, such as engineering, electronics, computer science, mathematics, or physics, and eligible for an industrial placement year.

Developing innovative and imaginative solutions requires an inquisitive approach and a willingness to tackle complex problems. You should be keen to learn new skills and open to new approaches. Good oral and written communication skills will be key to interacting effectively within Cambridge Consultants and our clients' organisations.  

Experience with any of the following would be advantageous, though not essential:  

Knowledge of wireless communication systems  Competence in driving RF test equipment  Programming with Python

Please ensure your CV includes your A Level (or equivalent) subjects and grades, as well as any relevant university modules.
