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 focused on creating future generations of wireless products. You will apply deep theoretical and practical knowledge in electromagnetic theory, RF circuit design, and communication theory to guide products from initial concept through architecture definition, prototyping, and mass production. Your daily responsibilities include antenna design, EM simulation, and hardware prototyping while integrating technologies like cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC. You will perform RF schematic and PCB or flex layout work, using electromagnetic and system simulation tools alongside RF lab instrumentation. You must collaborate with software and industrial designers to optimize wireless functionality, debug desense issues, and characterize noise sources to ensure successful manufacturing trade-offs.

What you'll do

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

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or equivalent education.
  • Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on Electro-magnetics or RF (preferred).
  • Coursework or experience in antenna/RF design, wireless communications, EM, or circuits.
  • Knowledge of EM, RF hardware, or antenna design.
  • 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).
