TL;DR · Radio Frequency Hardware Engineer

The Senior RF Engineer joins the DoorDash Labs team to develop mission-critical RF and electrical systems for unmanned platforms. This role involves leading the development of innovative solutions across RF, mixed-signal, and mechanical domains for autonomous platforms. Key responsibilities include designing and validating RF and mixed-signal PCBAs, performing EM simulations, and conducting rigorous lab and OTA testing to ensure reliability. The engineer will troubleshoot system-level desense, characterize EMI using EMC probes, and provide mentorship on mitigation strategies. Required expertise includes electromagnetic theory, wireless technologies such as LTE, 5G NR, Wi-Fi, GPS, and UWB, and high-speed digital interfaces like MIPI CSI/DSI, PCIe, and DDR. Candidates must be proficient with tools including CST, HFSS, ADS, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers to solve complex wireless system problems.

What you'll do

  • Design, optimize, and validate RF and mixed-signal PCBAs with a focus on interference mitigation.
  • Lead the development of RF, mixed-signal, and mechanical solutions for unmanned platforms.
  • Perform EM simulations using tools like CST, HFSS, and ADS to drive design decisions.
  • Characterize EMI by tracing root causes using EMC probes, shielding tests, and grounding checks.
  • Conduct rigorous lab and OTA testing for LTE, 5G NR, Wi-Fi, GPS, and UWB systems.
  • Design wireless testbeds to support system validation and document system-level design verification.
  • Provide technical mentorship to partner teams regarding EMI mitigation and cross-functional debug processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in RF engineering, applied electromagnetics, or wireless systems.
  • 6+ years of hands-on experience designing and testing RF hardware for consumer-grade mass-produced products.
  • Strong RF fundamentals with expertise in front-end design, desense analysis, and system-level optimization.
  • Experience working with high-speed digital interfaces such as MIPI CSI/DSI, PCIe, DDR, and SDIO/eMMC.
  • Proficiency in using RF test and measurement equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers.
  • Hands-on expertise in desense mitigation techniques including shielding, grounding, and filtering using simulation and empirical data.
  • Ability to perform EM simulations using CAD tools such as CST, HFSS, and ADS.
  • Knowledge of wireless technologies including LTE, 5G NR, Wi-Fi, GPS, and UWB.
