RF Systems Architect

Most RF architectures are getting more complex, more crowded, and harder to scale. My client is doing the exact opposite.

If you would like to know a bit more about this opportunity, or are considering applying, then please read the following job information.

We are partnering with a high-growth, fabless semiconductor innovator in Cambridge that is radically simplifying RF front-end architectures. They aren't just making incremental shifts; they are turning global connectivity into a commodity.

As they move from core tech development into full-scale productization, the CTO team needs a RF Systems Architect to be the "technical glue" that brings the vision to life.

The Mission

This isn't a role for a specialist who wants to stay in a silo. You will own the end-to-end RF system architecture, acting as the bridge between RF design, algorithms, embedded software, and test.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Architectural Ownership: Defining the roadmap from RFIC blocks through to software interfaces and calibration.
• Technical Integration: Ensuring that what works in simulation actually survives the real world (and 3GPP standards).
• Risk Mitigation: Identifying the "unknown unknowns" that impact yield and performance before they hit the customer.
• Leadership: Setting the standard for system-level thinking within a world-class engineering culture.

Why this role?

• True Innovation: You’ll be working on breakthrough technology that simplifies how devices connect globally.
• Direct Impact: Reporting into the CTO team, your decisions directly shape the product’s success and the company’s roadmap.
• Cambridge Tech Hub: Based in the heart of the UK’s semiconductor scene with a pragmatic, high-ownership culture.

What you bring to the table:

• A heavy-hitting background in RF systems, RFICs, or RF modules within commercial product environments.
• The ability to speak "multiple languages"—bridging the gap between hardware design, software, and validation.
• A pragmatic mindset: You care about what can be built, tested, and delivered, not just what looks good on a whiteboard.
• Experience with 3GPP/MIPI and mobile RF front-ends is a massive plus.
