Staff RF System Test Engineer

• Design, implement, and execute 3GPP Radio Conformance Testing (RCT) methodologies for next-generation RF SoC and radio platforms, including test development, automation, data analysis, and debug
• Develop automated validation frameworks, instrument drivers, and measurement applications in Python and MATLAB to improve test coverage, repeatability, and engineering productivity
• Perform hands-on characterization of RF subsystems and signal chains, including power amplifiers (PA), low-noise amplifiers (LNA), filters, CFR, and DPD algorithms across multiple wireless technologies and carrier configurations
• Investigate and root-cause RF performance issues using laboratory measurements, statistical analysis, and cross-functional debugging with hardware, firmware, and software teams
• Develop custom measurement techniques and validation workflows to evaluate key radio performance metrics such as EVM, ACLR, sensitivity, Noise Figure, spectral emissions, and transmitter linearity
• Drive silicon bring-up and system-level validation activities, identify performance gaps, and provide actionable recommendations to design teams
• Evaluate, integrate, and optimize advanced RF test equipment and commercial test solutions to improve measurement accuracy and test throughput
• Build scalable automated regression test environments that support continuous validation throughout the product lifecycle
• Analyze large RF data sets to identify trends, anomalies, and performance limitations, translating results into clear technical insights and design guidance
• Author detailed technical reports, validation procedures, and engineering documentation that support product development, certification, and manufacturing readiness

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field required; MS preferred
• 8+ years of hands-on RF system test, validation, or characterization experience with wireless communication products
• Strong software development skills in Python and MATLAB with demonstrated experience building automated test infrastructure and measurement tools
• Deep understanding of RF measurement principles and wireless performance metrics, including EVM, ACLR, spectral emissions, sensitivity, Noise Figure, gain, linearity, and transmitter performance
• Proven experience characterizing and debugging RF subsystems such as CFR, DPD, PA, LNA, filters, mixers, and transceiver architectures
• Hands-on experience with RF test instrumentation including spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers/generators, VNAs, oscilloscopes, power meters, and related equipment
• Experience validating wireless systems operating across multiple radio technologies, including 4G and 5G platforms
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a demonstrated ability to isolate root causes and solve complex RF performance issues
• Ability to independently define experiments, interpret results, and drive technical investigations with minimal direction
• Strong technical communication skills, including the ability to present complex measurement results and engineering tradeoffs clearly to technical audiences

Nice to Have

• Experience with RF SoC validation, silicon bring-up, or production test development
• Familiarity with firmware validation, embedded software debugging, or digital hardware verification methodologies
• Understanding of Radio Unit (RU) architectures and O-RAN/vRAN systems
• Experience developing CI/CD-enabled test automation environments using GitLab or similar version control platforms
• Experience applying data analytics, machine learning, or AI-assisted approaches to RF test optimization, anomaly detection, or signal integrity analysis
• Proficiency using AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools to accelerate test development, automation, and technical documentation
• Experience leveraging AI-augmented engineering workflows to improve test efficiency, debug productivity, and coverage generation
