RF Test Engineer - Load Pull Systems Development Engineer (Contract)

Job description

I am seeking a senior RF measurement/load-pull expert for a short-term engagement in Cambridge, UK.

Scope of the engagement (2–3 months):
- Setup and integrate a load-pull measurement system
- Work with existing focus tuners and software environment
- Define and execute calibration methodology
- Validate system performance and measurement accuracy
- Establish repeatable measurement workflows for power amplifier characterization

Required profile:
- Proven experience in building and validating load-pull systems, not just using them
- Strong background in RF power amplifier characterization
- Familiarity with tuner-based systems (e.g., Maury / Focus) and VNA/NVNA-based setups
- Hands-on approach with the ability to deliver a working and trusted measurement setup

Candidates should ideally be based in or near Cambridge or be able to be on-site regularly.
