Descripción de la vacante

NOVELIC, a leading provider of mmWave radar systems and perception solutions, seeks a hands-on RF-focused engineer to drive radar performance from simulation to validation. You will execute RF measurements, automate analysis with Python, and collaborate with EE and DSP teams on breakthrough features.

Join a growing, hybrid-working team with a strong portfolio in automotive and industrial radar, and contribute to shaping the platform backlog through rigorous testing and integration.

Formación

• Proficiency in Python for scripting and automation.
• Basic understanding of signal processing techniques (e.g., DoA estimation).
• Familiarity with electromagnetic simulation tools (CST, HFSS).
• Solid foundation in RF systems: signal propagation, antenna behaviour, modulation.
• Experience with RF lab equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, mixers).

Responsabilidades

• Perform antenna and system-level RF simulations to evaluate beamforming and propagation characteristics.
• Execute radar module measurements in lab and anechoic chamber.
• Support radar calibration during development, integration, and validation phases.
• Develop scripts to automate measurement, postprocessing, and data analysis workflows.
• Validate RF simulations against real-world test results and feedback to backlog.
• Collaborate across system, EE, and DSP teams to optimize radar sensing stack.
• Participate in Program Squads for feature delivery or performance improvement.
