TL;DR · Wireless Systems Engineer

As a Wireless Systems Engineer on the Product RF Design team, you will join a hands-on product development group shaping future generations of wireless products. You will be responsible for the full product design lifecycle, from concept and architecture definition to integration, prototyping, and final mass production. Your daily work involves using electromagnetic and system simulation, hands-on prototyping, and test and measurement to understand complex system interactions and manufacturing trade-offs. You must apply expertise in RF architecture, circuit design, and communication theory to optimize wireless functionality. Required skills include antenna design, RF measurement, and desense debugging. You will utilize knowledge of cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC technologies while collaborating with software architects and industrial designers to solve complex electromagnetic and wireless communication problems.

What you'll do

  • Define RF architecture and perform product design trade-offs from concept to mass production.
  • Conduct electromagnetic and system simulations to analyze complex sub-system interactions.
  • Build and test physical prototypes to validate wireless performance and hardware integration.
  • Perform RF measurements and desense analysis to characterize noise sources.
  • Develop RF schematics and PCB layouts following established design guidelines.
  • Integrate wireless technologies including cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC into products.
  • Support manufacturing teams to ensure successful transitions from prototype builds to mass production.

What we're looking for

  • BSEE or equivalent education.
  • Coursework or experience in antenna/RF design, wireless communications, EM, or circuits.
  • Experience in antenna design including simulation, mockup skill, and architecture investigation.
  • Experience in RF measurement and desense.
  • Experience in integration of wireless technologies such as cellular, GPS, Wifi, and NFC into products (preferred).
  • Experience in RF schematic and PCB layout practices and guidelines (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with RF lab instrumentation (preferred).
  • Ability to debug desense issues and characterize noise sources (preferred).
