RF Antenna Engineer

Job Title: RF Antenna Engineer (Electromagnetics)
Location: Farnborough
Salary: -Competitive + Benefits

Security Clearance: Must be eligible for SC clearance

Key Skills: RF, Electromagnetics, Antenna, Design, Simulation, CST, HFSS, EMC, Meta Materials, Physics, PhD

Overview

We''re partnering with a leading defence engineering organisation developing high-performance RF and electronic systems for complex, real-world environments. Due to continued growth, we''re looking for an RF / Antenna Engineer to support the design, simulation, and validation of antenna and electromagnetic systems across a range of programmes.

This role would suit either:

• An experienced Antenna/EM specialist, or
• An RF Engineer with strong electromagnetics knowledge looking to specialise further

What You will Be Doing:

• Design and develop antenna systems for demanding applications
• Perform electromagnetic simulation and analysis (e.g. radiation patterns, impedance, coupling)
• Support integration of antennas into wider electronic systems
• Work closely with hardware, mechanical, and systems engineers
• Support testing and validation, including lab and chamber-based measurements
• Contribute to technical reviews and engineering documentation

What We are Looking For:

• Background in RF engineering, electromagnetics, or antenna design
• Understanding of electromagnetic theory and RF principles
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g. CST, HFSS, FEKO or similar) or strong willingness to learn
• Experience in electronics or RF system integration
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

Desirable

• Direct antenna design experience
• Experience in defence, aerospace, or telecoms
• Knowledge of EMC considerations
• Experience with measurement/testing (VNA, anechoic chambers, etc.

Why Apply?

• Work on complex, real-world RF systems, not just theory
• Opportunity to specialise further in electromagnetics and antenna design
• Collaborative engineering environment with strong technical depth
• Long-term programmes offering stability and progression
