Full job description

Position: RF Antenna System Engineer

Location: Harwell Campus, Oxford

Satraka is on a mission to connect the unconnected and serve the underserved with its

innovative, cutting-edge tracking- and multi-beam antenna technology, providing

broadband internet connections anywhere, anytime via 4G/5G-based terrestrial

network (TN) and satellite-based non-terrestrial network (NTN).

Antenna is an exciting and challenging subject right at the core of all wireless

telecommunication systems. This is particularly true in nascent, yet fast-growing high-

data-rate broadband internet services, where both antenna performance, reliability and

costs are put to the test.

Based at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus - the UK's Space Cluster, Satraka

enjoys a highly dynamic and exciting environment and access to a range of world-class

facilities & expertise such as RAL Space, Science and Technology Facilities Council

(STFC) and Satellite Applications Catapult.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated RF Antenna System Engineer to join

our dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design,

development, and testing of RF systems for a range of advanced tracking antennas.

This includes design and hands-on work on various type of antennas, feed systems,

filters, front-end components such as low noise blocks (LNBs) and block

upconverters (BUCs), software defined radios, modems as well as related subjects

such as link budget and radio wave propagations. You will collaborate with cross-

functional teams across RF, embedded systems, mechanical, software coding and

business development to deliver robust, optimized, and reliable user terminals and

tracking antenna solutions.

Main Duties

Define system-level and sub-system-level requirements; perform performance analyses including link budgets, G/T, and EIRP
Define and qualify system components and interfaces, including telecom 4G/5G radios, satellite LNAs, and BUCs
Integrate and test RF systems within tracking antennas and user terminals
Optimize system-level Input/Output performance (IOPs) for real-time data communication and control
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure overall system performance, reliability, and integration
Conduct lab and field testing of RF and embedded systems using RF test equipment (e.g., VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators)
Work closely with antenna and mechanical engineering teams to develop solutions for network acquisition, tracking, antenna control, and multi-network management
Lead the full product development lifecycle: from system requirements and software architecture to embedded system design, integration, testing, optimization, and delivery
Prepare detailed technical documentation, including design specifications, performance analysis, integration procedures, and test reports
Support Business Development with technical expertise during proposal preparation and customer engagements
Interpret and negotiate technical requirements with customers; define feasible solutions and perform trade-off analyses
Manage work schedules, resources, and technical risks to ensure high-quality, on-time, and on-budget delivery
Coordinate closely with Project Managers to ensure successful project completion

Skills and Experience

Degree in Physics, Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Strong knowledge of RF, radio, and communication systems
Hands-on experience designing RF systems with LNAs, BUCs, filters, and duplexers
Proficient in link budget calculations and system performance analysis (G/T, EIRP, SNR, etc.)
Practical experience with satellite systems, 4G/5G radios, tracking antennas, and network integration
Proficient with RF simulation tools such as CST, HFSS
Familiar with EMC/EMI compliance and relevant regulatory standards
Understanding of Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms like GNU Radio or USRP
Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP) techniques for modulation, filtering, and encoding
Experiences in phased array and electronically steered antenna (ESA) systems
Skilled in full product lifecycle development from requirements to integration, testing, and delivery
Confident in system-level debugging and root cause analysis across hardware and software
Able to write clear technical documentation and explain complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences
Strong problem-solving skills focused on practical, innovative solutions
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

Personal Attributes

Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Self-motivated and driven to meet objectives
Effective team player; able to work independently or collaboratively as required
Able to work within defined timescales and meet programme milestones
Capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously
Passionate about technical challenges, problem solving, and practical innovation
Willing to learn, share knowledge, and go the extra mile for the team
Builds effective working relationships at all levels
Excellent at planning and organising workload across projects to meet deadlines
Quality-focused with strong attention to detail

Benefits:

Work with cutting-edge technology and innovation-driven projects
Competitive salary, holiday and pension contribution
Opportunities for fast career advancement and professional progression
