Job Purpose
The role of the Engineer, RF Systems is to contribute to the design, implementation and validation of new radio circuit designs, and to evaluate the performance of cutting edge mixed mode (analogue and digital) CMOS silicon integrated circuits. The successful candidate will be expected to work on designs which include Bluetooth, WLAN and others. Much of the work will be carried out in close collaboration with CSR’s analogue, digital, software and packaging design teams.

Training will be provided to the successful candidate to help broaden their knowledge and skills base.
