TL;DR · Wireless Module Engineer

The Wireless Module Engineer joins the Hardware Technology organization to drive wireless module development from early architecture definition through mass-production ramp. This role serves as a technical lead and primary liaison between internal cross-functional teams and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test partners. Key responsibilities include managing ATE hardware and software maturity, overseeing yield analysis, performing failure analysis, and ensuring design-for-manufacturability across schematics and PCB layouts. The candidate will manage module integration, test coverage, and reliability modeling while coordinating with supply chain and engineering teams. Required skills include strong RF fundamentals, data analysis for CPK and retest rates, and experience with I2C and PCIe interfaces. The role involves solving complex technical challenges in wireless modules, including VCO calibration, TX/RX power testing, and RF packet tests to ensure high-quality production for consumer electronic devices.

What you'll do

  • Drive wireless module development from early architecture definition through mass-production ramp.
  • Lead RF architecture and specification discussions between internal engineering teams and OSAT partners.
  • Manage ATE hardware and software maturity, including load boards, firmware, and module calibrations.
  • Oversee the formal design release process for schematics, PCB layouts, and DFM requirements.
  • Coordinate with OSATs to validate test coverage, limits, and yield improvements during NPI builds.
  • Perform failure analysis and implement optimizations for ATE testers and firmware test times.
  • Translate product field-usage profiles into data-driven reliability test models for modules and components.
  • Act as the primary technical liaison between internal cross-functional teams and external manufacturing partners.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a bachelor's degree.
  • Must possess strong RF fundamentals and a strong RF design background.
  • Preferred advanced degree in a technical discipline.
  • Preferred 2 or more years of wireless module development experience from concept to mass production for consumer electronics.
  • Experience in packaging, product engineering, ATE, and reliability engineering is highly desirable.
  • Must have strong data analysis skills including yield (Cpk) and retest rate analysis.
  • Ability to travel internationally for up to 2 weeks at a time.
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively and lead projects with self-motivation.
