Research Associate

Job description:

Are you an experienced radio frequency (RF) or millimetre wave (mmWave) researcher or designer who enjoys working collaboratively on next generation technology challenges? We have an exciting opportunity to join us as an RF Integrated Circuit Designer & Researcher for someone who is passionate about this technology.

We are seeking candidates with experience in RF circuit, RF chip, PCB design and RF simulation. A PhD is desirable (or equivalent relevant experience in engineering or physics) and equivalent industrial experience is welcomed.

Under expert supervision, you will help research and develop a new generation of integrated circuit (IC) concepts for mmWave antenna arrays, mixers, oscillators and amplifiers at high mmWave frequencies. This exciting and challenging role combines advanced RF Engineering research, IC design, prototyping and practical RF measurement skills. As part of the role, you will have access to the EPSRC mmWave Measurement Laboratory and associated RF test equipment and simulation tools.

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) belongs to the prestigious Faculty of Engineering. We are one of the largest academic communities of engineers in the UK, ranked joint 1st for Research Environment in the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021)! Our specific field (EEE) is also ranked very highly, which is a marker of our excellence and ambition (QS 2024: 11th in UK, The Guardian 2024: 3rd, The Times Higher 2024: 7th in the UK).

We are home to several national institutes and centres, for example:

• The National mmWave Measurement Facility,
• The National Epitaxy Facility,
• The National 6G Radio Systems Facility.

We strive to conduct fundamental research and innovation to address global challenges, as well as support the education of the next generation of engineers.
