We are looking for an RF Systems Engineer to design, integrate, characterize and improve the analog subsystems behind these systems.You will have the freedom and responsibility to investigate problems deeply and turn engineering insight into measurable improvements in real systems.RF problems rarely exist in isolation: antenna impedance affects the power amplifier, amplifier nonlinearities affect signal quality, and receiver characteristics interact with algorithms.

Real system data will help you uncover effects that models miss and turn the results into system improvements.You will work closely with system, algorithm, digital hardware, software and test engineers, translating system objectives into RF requirements and measurement results into engineering decisions.

The team brings deep experience across these disciplines, with support from specialist teams across Optiver.

We move quickly, debate ideas openly regardless of who proposed them, and treat every result as a team result.Combine simulation, analytical modeling and measurement in Python to identify dominant system limitations, and work with system, algorithm and modeling engineers to investigate trade-offs and validate improvements across link budgets, cascaded gain and noise, nonlinear effects and array behavior.Specify requirements toward suppliers: translate system objectives into clear specifications, find and evaluate antenna manufacturers and RF equipment vendors, and manage supplier engagements from first contact through quotation, delivery and acceptance testing.Define and execute test strategies at component, subsystem and integration level, covering test setups, acceptance criteria, calibration and measurement uncertaintyWho you areBS or higher in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, Applied Physics or a related discipline, with minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with RF hardware or RF systems.Solid foundation in Python for analysis, modeling and measurement automation, and fundamentals of digital signal processing (sampling, filtering, spectral analysis).Comfortable owning open-ended engineering problems from first investigation through design, experimentation and validation, and communicating trade-offs across disciplinesNice to haveHands-on experience with high-power RF hardware, including power amplifiers.No prior trading or financial experience is needed - our onboarding program will kick-start your career at Optiver and support you in gaining all the relevant knowledge about our business.What you'll getYou’ll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, where you’ll be surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem solvers.
