The posting

Introduction

We are seeking a motivated RF & Electronics Summer Placement Student for a full-time paid placement at our Cambridge office. This role is suited to students who have completed their penultimate year and will be returning for their final year after the summer. The placement offers hands-on experience in RF and electronics for students with a strong grounding in the field.

This paid placement will last 12 weeks.

There is no deadline for this role, as we recruit on a rolling basis. Once the position is filled, we will close the advert. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

The Opportunity

During the placement, your time will be split between contributing to a dedicated internal RF development project and supporting a range of live client projects. You will work alongside experienced engineers, gaining practical exposure to RF design, simulation, testing, and measurement in a professional consultancy environment.

You will also have access to our extensive in-house facilities. Should you attend a face-to-face interview, we’ll provide a tour of our labs which support hardware development engineering during your visit. These include:

  • Prototype PCB manufacturing facilities, including SMT pick-and-place, vapour-phase reflow and x-ray inspection
  • EMC emissions test facility
  • 5GHz 360° antenna test facility

Some interesting high-speed electronics projects that we've previously worked on:

Overcoming smart meter challenges for the last 5% by developing a custom ZigBee to Long-Range Radio Bridge

Design of a low-power, high-performance smart wearable for Accesso integrating multiple radios

Developing a novel air-interface and bespoke communication systems for the Ocado Smart Platform controlling hundreds of robots in grocery distribution centres

Next-generation Explosive Ordnance Disposal for the British Army

What you'll be doing

  • Field experiments to validate concepts
  • PCB level RF circuit design and laboratory-based design validation
  • Development of system models
  • Antenna modelling using our sophisticated design tools
  • As required, present designs, results and conclusions
  • Work as part of a close-knit, multi-disciplinary project team focused on delivering design solutions to our clients

What you can bring

We are looking for someone currently studying towards a MEng degree in Electronic Engineering or a closely related discipline, on track to achieve a 2.1 or above.

You will also have:

  • A solid foundation in electronic principles with an RF leaning.
  • Familiarity with RF test equipment (such as spectrum analysers and network analysers).

While not essential requirements, we would also be very interested if you have experience with any of the following:

  • Knowledge of RF simulation tools, and experience in electronics design and schematic capture
  • An understanding of RF measurements and lab-based debugging

A motivated and detail-oriented engineer who is motivated by working in a hands-on laboratory environment will thrive in this role.

Some projects at Cambridge Consultants are subject to security restrictions. This role requires you to obtain a Security Check (SC) level security clearance ( United Kingdom Security Vetting: Applicant ). You must be able to work in the UK without restrictions in accordance with UK National Law and be prepared to successfully undertake an appropriate level of UK National Security Vetting according to UK Government National Security Vetting criteria.

Please be aware that, for roles requiring Security Check clearance, applicants will typically need to have been continuously resident in the UK for a minimum of 5 years immediately prior to applying for this role in order to meet the requirements for Security Check (SC) clearance.

Please ensure your CV includes your A Level (or equivalent) subjects and grades, as well as any relevant university modules.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
