Senior Antenna Design Engineer

Are you an experienced Antenna Design Engineer looking to take ownership of technically challenging projects and develop innovative RF and antenna solutions?

At Steatite our technologies operate in some of the world’s most demanding environments, from the ocean floor to the edge of space. We are seeking a Senior Antenna Design Engineer to join our Leominster team and play a key role in designing, developing and optimising high-performance antenna solutions.

This is a predominantly on-site role based in Leominster, with occasional remote working by exception and some UK and international travel as required.

What You will Be Doing

• Design, develop and optimise antenna solutions across a range of frequencies and applications.
• Use CST Microwave Studio or equivalent EM simulation tools to model and improve antenna performance.
• Lead projects from concept and simulation through prototyping, testing, verification and production.
• Undertake antenna testing including S-parameters, gain, efficiency and radiation pattern measurements.
• Support customers with design reviews, proposals and technical problem-solving.
• Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, quality and commercial teams.
• Mentor developing engineers and contribute to continuous improvement.

What We are Looking For

Degree in RF, Microwave, Electronic Engineering, Physics or related discipline.

Proven experience in antenna design and RF engineering across the development lifecycle.

Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, impedance matching, antenna principles and RF performance.

Experience with CST Microwave Studio or equivalent EM simulation software.

Hands-on antenna testing experience using VNAs and antenna chamber measurements.

Ability to lead technical activities and communicate effectively with customers and colleagues.

Defence, aerospace, communications or other high-reliability industry experience would be advantageous.

Why this role?

Join a specialist engineering team where you’ll work on technically demanding projects, influence design decisions, and help shape the next generation of antenna solutions.

Security

Due to the nature of our work, the successful candidate will be required to complete BPSS screening before commencing employment and must be eligible and willing to undertake Security Clearance (SC) within the probation period.
