Designing RF electronics for a thriving Cambridgeshire company

This company develops advanced RF electronics as standalone systems and subsystems for other manufacturers. Their technology has applications across both the commercial and government sectors. As their business continues to grow, they are seeking a Senior Electronics Design Engineer to join their Cambridgeshire-based development team.

With involvement throughout the development lifecycle, you would work on aspects such as design, prototyping, PCB layout, test system development, debugging, documentation and IPR, and transition to manufacture. Reporting to the Hardware Development Manager, you will work in collaboration with colleagues from Marketing, Customer Support, Product Management and Manufacturing. You will have a high degree of ownership over the planning and prioritizing of your work.

You will need:

  • A degree in electronics or a similarly applicable subject from a well-respected university

  • Previous commercial electronics design, test, and debug experience including most of: PCB layout, low level comms – e.g. SPI, I2C, FPGA, Verilog, VHDL, microcontrollers and SOCs

  • Experience in developing embedded software in C and assembler

  • Experience with embedded Linux

  • Practical hands-on skills – prototyping circuits and use of common lab equipment

  • Full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK

    A knowledge of or interest in RF engineering, SDR radios, DSP, or high speed digital design would be beneficial but not essential.

    This is an opportune time to join this successful company as their designs are in increasing demand. They are based in modern offices to the west of Cambridge. A competitive salary and benefits package, and hybrid working are on offer to the successful candidate.

    Keywords: Electronics Design, RF Engineering, Software Defined Radio, PCB Design, Embedded Software / Linux, Cambridgeshire

    Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.

    Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you. To discuss your requirements call ecm or email your CV. We will always ask before forwarding your CV.

    Please apply (quoting ref: CV27357) only if you are eligible to live and work in the UK. By submitting your details you certify that the information you provide is accurate

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
