The Role
-This role involves the design and development of novel antenna sub-system solutions to support higher level product developments.

-There will be a demand to work closely with RF Engineers, Systems Teams, Firmware & Software developers, Digital Electronics Designers and with other related teams such as Component Engineering, PCB Design/Layout, Mechanical Engineering, manufacturing and others.
Key Skills & Experiences

-Proven experience in Antenna Design and antenna product development covering a range of microwave frequencies; experience of UHF and/or frequencies in excess of X-band an advantage.
-Solid knowledge on EM theory and expertise with EM simulation tools such as CST or HFSS.
-Experience with embedded antenna design and miniaturized antenna design is a plus.
-Good knowledge of transmission line theory, matching circuits, active and passive RF circuit design.
-Hands-on experience performing S-parameter measurements and antenna pattern measurements, using anechoic chambers etc, including an ability to instruct external test houses, is essential.
-Knowledge of practical RF system design, including passive and active design such as path loss calculation, cascade noise figure, intercept point is desirable.
