We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer to join an innovative engineering team working at the cutting edge of RF technology. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of high-performance software that powers advanced radio frequency measurement and optimisation on sophisticated hardware platforms.

🔧 What you’ll be doing

You’ll play a key role in building and evolving software that bridges theory and real-world RF systems. Working alongside RF and systems specialists, you’ll help bring complex algorithms into practical use through robust, production-ready code.

Your work will include:

* Developing and enhancing Python-based applications for algorithm design and deployment

* Collaborating closely with hardware and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration between software and physical devices

* Testing and validating solutions on both prototype and live hardware environments

* Writing clean, maintainable, and well-structured code using best engineering practices

* Investigating and resolving performance or functionality issues during development and rollout

* Supporting the transition from experimental concepts to stable, scalable software solutions

* Creating automated tests, validation frameworks, and datasets to ensure accuracy and reliability

⚙️ Additional involvement

* Assisting with integration into lab equipment, measurement systems, and internal tools

* Contributing to documentation and sharing knowledge across the engineering team

🎯 What we’re looking for

Background & Experience:

* Degree (BSc or MSc) in Electronic Engineering, Physics, or a related field

* Strong hands-on experience with Python development

* A problem-solving mindset with the confidence to tackle technically complex challenges

* Exposure to RF measurement techniques or lab testing environments (advantageous)

* Familiarity with hardware interfacing and communication protocols

* Experience with real-time systems is beneficial

* Knowledge of RF systems, wireless technologies, or telecoms is a plus

Personal Attributes:

* Clear communicator with strong collaboration skills

* Comfortable working both independently and within a multidisciplinary team

💡 Why join?

This is a chance to work on next-generation RF technologies, contributing to solutions that push the boundaries of connectivity and hardware innovation. You’ll be part of a team where experimentation meets real-world impact
