TL;DR · Wireless RF OTA Connectivity Validation Engineer
The Wireless RF OTA Connectivity Validation Engineer joins the Wireless System and Compliance Engineering team to perform radiated system characterization and performance analysis across WLAN, BT, UWB, and GNSS technologies. This role involves translating carrier and industry requirements into actionable test cases, executing over-the-air validation plans, and managing certification testing at third-party labs like PTCRB, CTIA, and CWG. The engineer will debug marginal failures with cross-functional teams, manage calibrated lab environments, and develop characterization methodologies for emerging technologies. Required skills include experience with antenna design, anechoic chambers, and RF test equipment from vendors like Keysight or Rohde & Schwarz. Candidates should possess a solid understanding of RF components and at least one wireless technology such as IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, GNSS, LTE, GSM, UMTS, or CDMA, with optional proficiency in MATLAB and AI tools.
