TL;DR · Product RF Design Engineer

As a Product RF Design Engineer on the Product RF Design team, you will join a hands-on development group creating future generations of wireless products. You will apply expertise across the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept and architecture definition to prototyping and mass production. Your daily responsibilities include antenna design, electromagnetic simulation, and hardware prototyping. You will integrate diverse wireless technologies including cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC while performing RF and antenna schematic work for PCB and flex layouts. The role requires deep knowledge of electromagnetic theory, wireless circuit design, and communication theory. You will utilize electromagnetic and system simulation tools alongside RF lab instrumentation to debug desense issues, characterize noise sources, and manage manufacturing trade-offs to optimize wireless functionality for the end user.

What you'll do

  • Define RF architecture and product design from concept through mass production.
  • Perform antenna design, electromagnetic simulations, and prototype hardware design.
  • Integrate cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC technologies into products.
  • Create RF and antenna schematics and PCB or flex layouts.
  • Use electromagnetic and system simulations to analyze complex sub-system interactions.
  • Conduct hands-on prototyping and test measurements to validate design performance.
  • Support manufacturing teams to ensure successful transitions from prototype to mass production.
  • Debug desense issues and characterize noise sources within the system.

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 or above degree in Electrical Engineering with Electro-magnetics or RF emphasis (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 environment and statistical analysis (preferred).
