As a Senior RF Engineer, you will contribute significantly to development projects, leveraging your expertise in RF electronics design. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in RF electronics design, enjoy problem-solving, and be an excellent communicator.

Come and join Sepura Ltd at an exciting time of growth and progress your career within this innovative technology company, based in Waterbeach, Cambridge.

Main responsibilities can include:

• Technical design and specification of RF circuitry for radio terminal products:
  • Complete subsystem design and implementation
  • Integration with Baseband, Audio and MMI subsystems
  • Component specification and sourcing
  • Design test documentation
  • Schematic creation and PCB layout supervision
• Technical requirements analysis
• Resolutions of design and integration issues
• Type approval support

Day to Day:

Our diverse customer base spans various industries and markets globally. We have developed comprehensive TETRA and LTE solutions tailored for users across multiple sectors to address their critical communication needs.

At Sepura, no two days are the same. You will receive support from your manager and team, and collaborate with different departments throughout the company.

Technical engineering responsibilities will include:
