TL;DR · Product RF Design Engineer

As a Product RF Design Engineer, you will join the Product RF Design team to develop and influence current and future generations of wireless products. You will be responsible for the entire product lifecycle, from concept and architecture definition through integration and prototyping to final mass production. Your daily work involves designing antennas, performing electromagnetic simulations, and creating RF and antenna schematics with PCB and flex layouts. You will integrate diverse technologies including cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC while collaborating with software architects and industrial designers to optimize functionality. To succeed, you must possess deep knowledge of electromagnetic theory, wireless circuit design, and communication theory. You will utilize EM simulation tools and RF lab instrumentation to debug desense issues, characterize noise sources, and manage manufacturing trade-offs for complex system interactions in the wireless space.

What you'll do

  • Design and integrate cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC technologies into consumer products.
  • Perform antenna design, electromagnetic simulation, and prototype hardware development.
  • Create RF and antenna schematics and PCB/flex layouts.
  • Conduct hands-on prototyping, testing, and measurement to analyze complex system interactions.
  • Identify and debug desense issues while characterizing noise sources.
  • Support manufacturing teams from the prototype phase through mass production.
  • Optimize product designs for wireless functionality in collaboration with industrial and software designers.

What we're looking for

  • BSEE or equivalent education.
  • Coursework or experience in antenna/RF design, wireless communications, EM, or circuits.
  • Knowledge of EM or RF hardware or antenna design.
  • Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on Electro-magnetics or RF (preferred).
  • Knowledge of electromagnetic simulation tools (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with RF lab instrumentation (preferred).
  • Ability to debug desense issues and characterize noise sources (preferred).
  • Experience with production environments and statistical analysis (preferred).
