Role Description
We're looking for a Wireless RF Engineer with broad-based expertise across RF architecture, design, integration, and manufacturing. The ideal candidate combines deep theoretical and practical knowledge in areas such as electromagnetic theory, RF and wireless circuit design, communication systems, and product design trade-offs.
You'll leverage electromagnetic and system simulations, hands-on prototyping, and test and measurement tools to understand complex system and sub-system interactions - translating insights into production-ready designs that balance performance, reliability, and manufacturability at scale.
Responsibilities
- Lead bring-up and production of state-of-the-art physical layer wireless communication systems
- Design and simulate wireless systems optimized for ultra-low power applications
- Perform link budget modeling and system-level performance analysis
- Integrate and validate wireless technologies such as cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa, and mesh networking
- Support both terrestrial and satellite communication systems
- Collaborate closely across electrical, firmware, and mechanical teams
- Drive cross-functional alignment with antenna vendors, certification labs, and manufacturing partners
Required Skills
- BSEE (or higher) with 7+ years of experience in RF systems design and debug
- Proven experience with RF manufacturing line testing, fixture development, and validation
- Hands-on expertise in RF certification and compliance (PTCRB, EMI, FCC, etc.)
- Experience working with antenna vendors and certification labs
- Strong understanding of radio desense and coexistence (CoEx) testing
- Skilled in RF lab setup, measurement, and performance analysis
- Proven collaboration experience with RF silicon vendors, and internal EE, ME, and FW teams
Bonus Skills
- Direct experience partnering with RF silicon vendors
- Deep cross-disciplinary collaboration across hardware, firmware, and mechanical engineering
This describes the ideal candidate; many of us have picked up this expertise along the way. Even if you meet only part of this list, we encourage you to apply
