Job Description

Position: Product Engineer

Location: Harwell Campus, Oxford

Satraka is on a mission to connect the unconnected and serve the underserved with its

innovative, cutting-edge tracking- and multi-beam antenna technology, providing

broadband internet connections anywhere, anytime via 4G/5G-based terrestrial

network (TN) and satellite-based non-terrestrial network (NTN).

Antenna is an exciting and challenging subject right at the core of all wireless

telecommunication systems. This is particularly true in nascent, yet fast-growing high-

data-rate broadband internet services, where both antenna performance, reliability and

costs are put to the test.

Based at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus - the UK's Space Cluster, Satraka

enjoys a highly dynamic and exciting environment and access to a range of world-class

facilities & expertise such as RAL Space, Science and Technology Facilities Council

(STFC) and Satellite Applications Catapult.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated antenna Product Engineer to join our

dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for translating prototype

antenna designs into production-ready components and assemblies, managing batch

production. This includes refining mechanical designs (e.g., antenna enclosure and

steering system), ensuring environmental robustness (e.g., IP

?

rated protection), and

collaborating with manufacturers on tooling, (e.g., injection moulding), production

process and design-for-manufacture (DFM).

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams in RF, embedded software, mechanical

and business development to deliver robust, optimized and reliable user terminals and

tracking antenna solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with R&D teams to evolve prototype designs into final
manufacturable products.

Engineer and optimise antenna enclosures, radomes, baseplates and
mechanical interfaces.

Support design work to meet environmental protection requirements (e.g.,
IP67 water ingress).

Work with manufacturers on tooling design, including injection moulding,
CNC, casting and other processes.

Conduct tolerance analysis, material selection and structural feasibility
reviews.

Prepare detailed drawings, specifications, BoMs, and manufacturing
documentation.

Participate in prototype builds and validation testing; coordinate design
changes based on test data.

Lead batch production.o Drive Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and
cost?optimisation initiatives.

Support troubleshooting of manufacturing issues and ensure alignment
between design and production.

Contribute to continuous design improvement throughout the product lifecycle. Assist R&D and BD team on new product designs, tests and customer trials.

Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering or
related discipline.

Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials and
manufacturing processes.

Experience with enclosure design, sealing methods, environmental protection
(e.g., IP ratings).

Familiarity with injection moulding design guidelines, tooling constraints and
production workflows.

Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks and Fusion 360). Practical experience with prototype development, testing, and iterative design
improvements.

Knowledge in antenna or RF product development is advantageous but not
essential

Personal Attributes

Self-motivated and driven to meet objectives Passionate about technical challenges, problem solving and practical
innovation

Willing to learn, share knowledge and go the extra mile for the team Quality-focused with strong attention to detail Detail?oriented, proactive and eager to take design ownership from concept

milestones.

Collaborative team player committed to product quality and continuous
improvement.

Benefits:

Opportunity to take innovative antenna systems from prototype to commercial
release.

Competitive salary, paid holidays and pension contributions.o Career development within a rapidly growing high?tech company. Work in a cutting?edge engineering environment within the UK's leading space
technology hub.
