TL;DR · Wireless System Automation and Test Engineer

As a Wireless System Automation and Test Engineer within the Wireless Systems Design Validation Team, you will develop sophisticated automation frameworks and test infrastructure to validate wireless and PHY systems across RF and baseband domains. You will collaborate with PHY, MAC, and RF design engineers to translate specifications into automated test strategies, identify validation gaps, and resolve complex system issues during the silicon development lifecycle. Your daily work involves creating equipment drivers, control interfaces, and intelligent test sequences while analyzing results to improve methodologies for parameters like Power Accuracy, EVM, and MIMO. You will utilize Python, Shell scripting, C/C++, or C# to build tools. The role focuses on ensuring next-generation wireless technologies meet rigorous performance standards in laboratory environments using signal analyzers, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers within the wireless communication and WiFi domain.

What you'll do

  • Develop automation frameworks and test infrastructure for validating wireless and PHY systems across RF and baseband domains.
  • Create automated test strategies based on technical specifications to identify validation gaps and resolve complex system issues.
  • Build equipment drivers, control interfaces, and intelligent test sequences for silicon development.
  • Perform comprehensive validation and regression testing throughout the silicon development lifecycle.
  • Analyze test results to provide actionable insights and improve methodologies for next-generation wireless systems.
  • Develop tools for traceability, repeatability, and automated reporting using Git and CI/CD pipelines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong knowledge of wireless communication systems, specifically WiFi (cellular technologies experience is a plus).
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Shell scripting, and/or C/C++/C# for test automation.
  • Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (preferred).
  • Deep understanding of key performance indicators and impairments in RF and baseband domains (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience testing wireless silicon in laboratory environments (preferred).
  • Proficiency with RF test equipment including signal analyzers, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers (preferred).
  • Experience developing test automation, infrastructure, and related tools like Git and CI/CD (preferred).
