Notice Title

Embedded/Electronic Engineering Expertise

Notice Description

Oxford RF Solutions Ltd is looking to procure technical/engineering expertise to support the development of its proprietary commercial millimetre wave perception sensor technology. This involves taking on full responsibility to deliver the prototype sensor hardware and software. A strong background in delivering similar projects in high frequency/high speed electronic systems, EMC/ESD techniques, and embedded systems engineering is required. Expertise in RF engineering will be a plus though not necessary. A low-cost manufacturing solution and design to ISO26262 are highly desirable. The project needs to be delivered at a rapid pace starting June 2022. The design work with all iterations needs to complete by the end of July 2022; however, the fabrication and testing of the finalised design can go beyond July 2022.
