RF Layout Engineer

IC Layout Engineer – Cambridge – Salary up to £65K + Benefits

We're looking for an RF Layout Engineer to join a growing company based in the Cambridge area that focuses on the development of next-generation communications modules.

You would be supporting the development and simulation of RF silicon ICs for next-generation RF front-end solutions. This role is ideal for motivated graduates or early-career engineers with a strong technical foundation who want to build a career in RF IC layout and design.

Working closely with senior IC designers, you will take part in layout activities, verification flows, and simulation support, as well as contribute to documentation and lab evaluation tasks. This is a hands‑on position that provides excellent opportunities to learn, contribute, and grow in a fast‑paced, collaborative engineering environment.

• Assist in the layout design of RF IC building blocks (e.g., LNAs, RF switches, tunable capacitors).
• Support transistor-, block-, and system-level simulations using industry-standard EDA tools.
• Set up and run verification flows (LVS, DRC, PEX) and maintain accurate records of results.
• Prepare technical documentation, including test results, design notes, and performance summaries.

• Exposure to IC layout and design tools (experience with Cadence preferred).
• Familiarity with simulation tools such as Spectre, RFPro, or Momentum is an advantage.
• Basic understanding of analog/RF design concepts and circuit building blocks.
If you would be interested in making an application to the RF Layout Engineer opportunity or would like further information, please contact Luke Ord.
