An exciting opportunity has become available to work full time on a 5-month contract to complete a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) developing an Adaptive Multiband Metamaterial Antenna Frontend for Ultra-low Power 5G/Wi-Fi 6/6E/7/HaLow Applications.
Employed and supported by an academic team from the University, you will work both from home and at SmOp Cleantech’s premises in Manchester.
Company information
SmOp Cleantech is an established clean technology and integrated engineering services provider, offering complete end-to-end solutions in Smart Metering, Utilities Infrastructure, Energy and Process Systems, Sustainability and Building Services Engineering.
Qualifications
Hold a minimum 2:1 BEng in Electronic Engineering, Radio Frequency Engineering or a related degree. BSc (Hons) / B.Tech. candidates would also be considered, though BEng (Hons) is preferred.
Prior industry experience and/or or a higher qualification (e.g., MSc, PhD) would be beneficial.
Application requirements
- Knowledge of fundamental components of electronic circuit systems: impedance matching, rectifying circuits, signal processing etc.
- Knowledge of standard mathematical techniques for electronic engineering, signal analysis, signal propagation, signal modulation etc.
- Knowledge of RF data communication protocols (NFC/RFID, WLAN, WNAN, WWAN), Multi-radio standards / protocols; and multi-radio networks convergence characterisation.
- Experience of RF subsystems design, modelling, simulation, fabrication, integration and characterisation.
- Knowledge of RF technologies and architectures, such as multi-radio 5G/Wi-Fi6/6E/7/HaLow and antenna design topologies (e.g., multiple input multiple output); and beamforming optimisation algorithms.
- Knowledge of energy harvesting systems (Energy types; harvesting methods; energy sources; energy collecting distances; harvesting performance; power conversion efficiency; and application).
- Knowledge of computer programming languages such as C/C++/Python and Java for embedded systems integration and interfacing.
