About the Role

This position is ideal for an expert in RF systems who thrives in a multidisciplinary environment.

• Contribute to business development through technical leadership
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including DSP, communications, and wireless technologies
• Engage with clients, presenting and delivering high‑impact RF solutions aligned with industry standards

What they're looking for

• Deep expertise in RF systems—someone who can confidently operate as a go‑to authority
• Strong multi-disciplinary knowledge (RF, DSP, communications) is a plus
• A hands‑on, problem‑solving mindset with a passion for cutting‑edge technology
• The ability to engage both internally and externally to drive projects forward
• A minimum of 15-20 years of relevant experience (flexible for exceptional candidates)

Salary & benefits

• If considered at Director Level: Up to £140k base + 33% bonus
• If considered at Associate Director Level: Up to £110k base + 20% bonus
• Relocation package available (covering 25% of first‑year earnings for those moving within range)
• Visa sponsorship available if required
• Hybrid working: 3 days onsite preferred

If you’re an RF Systems Lead looking for your next challenge, this is an opportunity to step into a key role at one of the most respected consultancies in the industry.
