TL;DR · Senior Wireless Test Architect, LEO Antenna Test Infrastructure

Sr. Wireless Test Architect, LEO Antenna Test Infrastructure will join a cross-disciplinary team to develop advanced test systems for Digital Phased Array systems and integrate them into existing infrastructure. The role involves designing DVT and QTP campaigns, creating OTA tests using available hardware, and driving the strategy for custom instrumentation and infrastructure build-up for Payload and CT products. The candidate must address challenges in antenna characterization while improving coverage, accuracy, and repeatability by blending sat-com concepts with 3GPP industry standards. Key technical requirements include expertise in RF and Microwave Components, Digital Modulations, OFDM, and Signal Theory. Candidates should be proficient in test automation, radio frequency measurement devices like VSA and VSG, and platforms such as CMW500. Experience with 5G NR FR1/FR2, WiFi 6 and 7, and network troubleshooting tools is essential for this role.

What you'll do

  • Develop advanced test systems for Digital Phased Array systems and integrate them with existing infrastructure.
  • Design DVT and QTP campaigns tailored to specific device requirements, goals, and available resources.
  • Design Over-the-Air (OTA) tests based on specific campaign goals and available hardware.
  • Drive the strategy for custom instrumentation and infrastructure buildup for new wireless tests.
  • Develop functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures.
  • Implement automated testing solutions and frameworks for wireless platforms.
  • Execute test strategies for 5G NR FR1/FR2 and WiFi 6/7 products.
  • Utilize RF measurement devices like VSA and VSG to perform wireless connectivity testing.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • A Master's degree in Electrical/Communications Engineering or 8+ years of analog or RF layout design experience is required.
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures is required.
  • Knowledge of antenna fundamentals, radiation theory, and EM simulation experience is required.
  • Strong understanding of RF and Microwave Components design, Frontend design, Radio Architecture, Mixed Signal components, Digital Modulations, OFDM, and Signal Theory is required.
  • 4+ years of industrial experience driving test strategy for 5G NR FR1/FR2 and WiFi 6 and 7 products is required.
  • 5+ years of experience in test automation is required.
  • Experience with RF measurement devices (VSA, VSG), wireless connectivity testing systems, and network troubleshooting tools is preferred.
