  4. Maintain detailed and precise documentation of measurement results and processes.
  5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define measurement requirements and strategies.
  6. Develop scripts or automation processes for test systems to ensure repeatability and efficiency.
  7. Ensure compliance with RF test standards and perform equipment calibration.
  8. Participate in design reviews and provide insights based on measurement outcomes. Troubleshoot and resolve any issues arising during testing phases.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of RF concepts, including S-parameters, impedance matching, gain, noise figure and linearity.
  • Experience with RF test equipment such as network analysers, spectrum analysers, and signal generators.
  • Proficiency in conducting RF measurements and developing measurement setups.
  • Knowledge of RF measurement standards and compliance testing.
  • Ability to understand and interpret schematics and RF system-level diagrams.
  • Experience in scripting or programming for test automation (e.g., Python, MATLAB).
  • Excellent documentation skills with a high level of attention to detail.
  • Effective collaboration and communication skills, comfortable working in a team-oriented environment.
  • Proactive approach to problem-solving with a resilient attitude towards ambiguity.

  • Competitive salary and pension contributions
  • Company share option scheme
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Weekly company lunches
  • Flexible work hours and remote work options
