Project work would revolve around design and optimisation of RF systems used in high-frequency communications and sensing (involving phased-array antenna design and beamforming technologies). Furthermore, these technologies will be engineered into larger systems so testing and validation of RF performance and reliability will be paramount.\nRequirements:\nStrong academic background in Electronics or Electrical Engineering (1st from a top ranked university and ideally to Master’s level).\nDemonstrable project experience of RF design and testing (through extensive internships or academic project work for junior level applicants, or industry projects for more senior level applicants).\nExperience using RF lab equipment (spectrum and network analysers, signal generators).\nExperience / exposure of phased-array antennas and beamforming.\nDeep understanding of SDRs, RF front-end components and RF communication and modulation standards. (For junior applicants, some exposure in these areas.)\nStrong fundamental knowledge of RF and microwave theory including relevant equations and laws.\nAdditional experience with Linux (for systems testing), general low level programming, and relevant manufacturing processes would be beneficial.\nAs project work is defence related, all applicants must be eligible for security clearance (British national who has resided in the UK for the past 5 years). All work is based onsite at their offices / workshop which is sited close to Cambridge.\nThis is an excellent opportunity to work for this growing defence company as they develop their technologies and apply these for real-world scenarios.\nKeywords: Graduate / Experienced / Senior, RF Engineering, Electronics, Phased-Array Antennas, Beamforming, RF Communications, Defence, Onsite\nPlease note: even if you don't have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest - we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.\nRecommend for £250 - see www.ecmselection.co.uk/tell-a-friend for details.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2234,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T18:12:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.526,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":17,"reasons":["conf:23","agency","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":105832,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T03:24:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4840,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":53991},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=53991"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fecm-selection-rf-engineer-senior-graduate"}]}
