Radio Frequency Engineer

RF Engineer – Turin (Full-Time / Permanent)

NewSpace Technical is partnered with a cutting-edge European aerospace company that is redefining what’s possible in small satellite technology. This innovative organisation develops advanced satellite platforms alongside next-generation technologies supporting the future of space exploration.

Operating with a fully integrated, “end-to-end” model -from concept and design through to qualification and in-orbit operations - they are known for delivering high-performance, agile space solutions.

As part of their continued expansion, they are looking for a talented RF Engineer to join their Telecommunications team, contributing to the design and development of advanced RF systems for space applications.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering environment where innovation, ownership, and continuous learning are actively encouraged.

The Role

As an RF Engineer , you will be involved in the design, development, and validation of RF subsystems, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust and high-performance space-grade communication solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Analysing system-level requirements and defining technical specifications
• Translating requirements into board-level architecture and hardware design
• Producing and managing technical documentation (design descriptions, ICDs, verification plans, test procedures, etc.)
• Designing RF front-end architectures (MMIC/HMIC-based: HPA, LNA, mixers, oscillators, PLLs, etc.)
• Supporting schematic capture and PCB layout activities
• Performing simulations and preliminary validation (EMC, thermal, power derating, etc.)
• Defining and executing RF test campaigns, including setup and procedure development
• Characterising high-frequency components and systems (up to 40 GHz), including S-parameters, noise figure, and phase noise

Your Background

• Degree in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related STEM discipline
• ~3+ years of experience in RF front-end development (space, aerospace, or similar high-reliability sectors preferred)
• Strong communication skills in English

Key Skills & Experience

• Experience in RF product development, ideally within aerospace, defence, or avionics
• Strong proficiency with RF design and simulation tools (e.g. ADS, Altium, CST) across 0.1–40 GHz
• Experience designing RF front-ends, including radar or ultra-wideband receiver systems
• Hands-on experience with RF lab instrumentation (VNA, spectrum analysers, etc.)
• Solid understanding of antenna theory and technologies (gain, polarisation, patch antennas, arrays, etc.)
• Strong analytical mindset with excellent problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative environment

Desirable Experience

• Background in space or aerospace projects
• Experience with EMC qualification processes
• Familiarity with ECSS or MIL standards
• Experience with Agile methodologies and cross-functional teams
• Knowledge of FMEA and FTA analysis
• Detail-oriented approach with a strong drive for continuous improvement

Why Apply?

• Work on innovative, real-world space missions at the forefront of RF and satellite communications
• Be part of a highly skilled, collaborative engineering team
• Clear opportunities for professional development and career progression
• Flexible and hybrid working model
• Strong emphasis on work-life balance, including regular additional time off
• Competitive salary and benefits package

This is an exciting opportunity for an RF Engineer looking to make a meaningful impact in the rapidly evolving space sector while working on advanced communication technologies that power the next generation of satellite missions.
