Senior RF Design Engineer

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Collaborate closely with EE, RF, antenna, mechanical, ID, and systems teams to optimize end-to-end wireless system performance
• Define system-level wireless architecture, requirements, specifications, and performance targets
• Design, integrate, and validate wireless solutions across multiple radio technologies and frequency bands, including LTE/5G cellular systems
• Lead cellular hardware integration efforts from early architecture through bring-up, debugging, optimization, certification, and production ramp
• Drive RF coexistence and desense analysis across tightly integrated wireless subsystems
• Perform detailed circuit-level analysis to debug RF performance, interference, and desense issues, and characterize aggressor/victim relationships
• Identify and mitigate noise sources impacting wireless performance at both board and system levels
• Support end-to-end product development from concept, prototyping, and validation through qualification, carrier certification, PTCRB, regulatory approval, and manufacturing test
• Develop and execute wireless performance characterization plans, including TRP/TIS, OTA, throughput, range, and coexistence testing
• Partner with external module vendors, certification labs, and carriers to ensure successful cellular integration and compliance

What Makes You a Good Fit

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 7+ years of hands-on experience developing wireless consumer or embedded products with complex RF systems
• Strong cellular hardware development experience required, including LTE modem integration, RF front-end architecture, carrier requirements, and system bring-up/debug
• Extensive experience supporting products through PTCRB and carrier certification processes strongly preferred
• Deep technical understanding of one or more wireless technologies including LTE/cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, and related coexistence challenges
• Strong understanding of RF desense mechanisms, EMI/EMC mitigation, radiated/conducted coupling, and system-level integration challenges
• Experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design and analysis
• Experience with PCB schematic review, layout guidance, RF routing, grounding, shielding, and power integrity best practices
• Proven experience debugging and optimizing wireless system performance in highly integrated products
• Hands-on experience with RF lab equipment including network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, CMW500, signal generators, power meters, near-field probes, and OTA test systems
• Experience using RF simulation and modeling tools such as Ansys HFSS and Keysight ADS
• Experience performing and analyzing TRP, TIS, OTA, throughput, and Rate vs. Range measurements
• Strong understanding of manufacturing test, production calibration, and wireless validation workflows
• Ability to independently drive complex technical problems across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced development environment
