TL;DR · RF Hardware Engineer - Multi-Radio Coexistence

Join our dynamic RF Systems Engineering team as an RF Hardware Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in enhancing multi-radio coexistence performance across various wireless technologies such as Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and UWB. Your responsibilities include conducting hands-on hardware experiments to assess platform-level performance, performing failure analysis, proposing design changes, reviewing PCB layouts, and executing validation test plans. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including RF Test Engineers, to develop and refine test procedures and mock-ups for coexistence validation. Essential skills include a deep understanding of RF components, proficiency in lab equipment like spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes, and expertise in wireless architectures and system-level grounding techniques. This role demands meticulous attention to detail and strong communication abilities as you work on cutting-edge hardware solutions that impact millions of users globally.

What you'll do

  • Assess and debug multi-radio coexistence issues through hands-on hardware experiments and failure analysis.
  • Review and sign off on PCB layouts, flex designs, grounding, and shielding for multi-radio compatibility.
  • Define and execute validation test plans, track results, and communicate data-driven insights to stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with RF Test Engineers to develop test procedures and experimental setups for coexistence validation.
  • Evaluate hardware change requests, update characterization plans, and identify potential coexistence risks or trade-offs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.
  • Master’s degree with experience in at least one wireless technology (Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
  • Proficiency with RF lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers and signal generators.
  • Knowledge of wireless architectures including front-end design and antenna sharing.
  • Experience defining RF/wireless system-level requirements for chipset teams.
  • Hands-on hardware debugging skills at the module or system level.
  • Expertise in electromagnetic interference mitigation techniques.
