TL;DR · Wireless Systems Researcher

The Wireless Systems Researcher joins a team to apply RF technology expertise to user-centered research for wireless products. This role involves designing and executing rigorous, statistically sound studies to quantify end-to-end system performance and translate technical findings into actionable product decisions. Key responsibilities include identifying user characteristics and environments, processing and visualizing data, and designing novel wireless infrastructure to advance human engineering product validation. The researcher must utilize skills in RF and wireless connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and UWB. Required technical competencies include data analysis using R, Python, and MATLAB, along with experimental design principles like hypothesis testing and regression. The work focuses on solving problems related to body-worn interference, crowded RF environments, and multi-device coexistence to improve the end-user experience.

What you'll do

  • Identify user characteristics and environments that impact wireless connectivity and performance metrics.
  • Design and execute rigorous user studies to quantify end-to-end RF system performance.
  • Apply experimental design principles to ensure research findings are statistically valid and actionable.
  • Process and visualize data to formulate insights for product decisions and technical trade-offs.
  • Design and implement novel wireless infrastructure to advance human engineering product validation.
  • Root cause potential shortcomings in wireless performance through systematic testing and analysis.
  • Translate technical findings into actionable product decisions for cross-functional stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • MS with 3+ years of professional experience or a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a strong background in RF/wireless technologies.
  • Experience working with RF and wireless connectivity technologies like Bluetooth, WiFi, and UWB, preferably for consumer products.
  • Experience applying statistical methods and experimental design principles to human-subjects or engineering research.
  • Experience with data processing and visualization using R, Python, MATLAB, or similar techniques.
  • Experience setting up research plans, identifying resources, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues.
  • Experience using AI/LLM tools to accelerate research workflows or data analysis.
  • Willingness and ability to travel within the USA.
  • Ph.D. with 2+ years of industry experience (preferred).
