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

As a Sr. Wireless Test Architect, you will join a cross-disciplinary team to develop advanced test systems for Digital Phased Array systems. You will integrate new systems with existing infrastructure, including near field spherical scanners, robotic manipulators, and RF optics. Your daily responsibilities include designing DVT and QTP campaigns, creating OTA tests, and driving the strategy for custom instrumentation and infrastructure buildup for Payload and CT products. You will utilize skills in antenna fundamentals, radiation theory, EM simulation, and RF/Microwave component design. The role requires expertise in 5G NR FR1 and FR2, WiFi 6 and 7, and test automation. You will solve technical challenges by adopting 3GPP industry standards to improve test coverage, accuracy, and repeatability for low Earth orbit satellite communication systems.

What you'll do

  • Design DVT and QTP campaigns tailored to specific device requirements, goals, and available resources.
  • Design Over-the-Air (OTA) tests that utilize existing test infrastructure to meet specific campaign goals.
  • Drive the strategy for test infrastructure buildup and custom instrumentation for new wireless tests.
  • Develop advanced test systems for Digital Phased Array systems and integrate them with existing infrastructure.
  • Implement automated testing solutions and frameworks for wireless platforms.
  • Execute test procedures for Payload and CT products across DVT, QTP, and ATP cycles.
  • Improve test coverage, accuracy, and repeatability for antenna characterization systems.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Master's degree in Electrical/Communications Engineering or 8+ years of analog or RF layout design experience.
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures.
  • Knowledge of antenna fundamentals, radiation theory, and EM simulation experience.
  • Strong understanding of RF and Microwave Components design, Frontend design, Radio Architecture, Mixed Signal components, Digital Modulations, OFDM, and Signal Theory.
  • 4+ years of industrial experience driving test strategy for 5G NR FR1 and FR2, WiFi 6, and 7 products.
  • 5+ years of experience in test automation.
  • Export Control Requirement.
