RF/Electronics Engineer – Torquay – Very Competitive Salary

I’m recruiting an RF/Electronics Engineer on behalf of an exciting photonic networking business developing technology for next-generation AI infrastructure and high-performance computing.

Joining a growing hardware team, you’ll help turn advanced research into practical products, combining high-frequency electronics design, electromagnetic simulation and hands-on measurement. This is an opportunity to take technical ownership within a flat, collaborative team.

The role:

• Design and characterise high-speed electronic interfaces for photonic devices, including drivers, TIAs and RF interconnects.
• Develop 3D electromagnetic models using HFSS, CST or equivalent, correlating simulations with experimental results.
• Perform RF measurements, calibration and de-embedding using advanced instrumentation operating above 50 GHz.
• Support prototype bring-up, PCB reviews and debugging, using Python or MATLAB for modelling, analysis and lab automation.

About you:

• Strong grounding in RF/microwave engineering, electromagnetics and applied mathematics.
• Practical experience in high-frequency design, simulation and measurement.
• Ideally a PhD in Electronics, Physics or a related discipline, supported by 2–4 years of commercial experience. Candidates with a Master’s degree and substantial relevant industrial experience are also encouraged to apply.
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment.

Experience with signal integrity, high-speed SerDes, PAM4, optical communications or silicon photonics would be advantageous.

Alongside a very competitive salary, the package includes stock options, pension, healthcare for you and your partner, life assurance, income protection and 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays. Relocation support is also available.
