• Engage in technical discussions with chipset vendors, access point OEMs, and key technology partners to align expectations and capabilities.
• Represent Wi-Fi domain expertise internally and externally including product management, customers, and strategic partner engagements.
• Lead feasibility studies and performance investigations; evaluate new Wi-Fi features (e.g., MLO, OFDMA scheduling strategies, client steering logic).
• Mentor less experienced engineers and contribute to overall team knowledge-building.

What you should ideally bring:

• Minimum Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related field (MSc or PhD is a plus)
• 5+ years of experience in Wi-Fi systems, wireless performance, or network protocol engineering.
• Strong understanding of 802.11 standards, PHY/MAC layer behavior, roaming protocols (11k/v/r), DFS, and mesh networking.
• Demonstrated experience in Wi-Fi performance testing, traffic generation, controlled RF environments, and/or Wi-Fi analytics.
• Ability to interpret RF metrics and network KPIs to diagnose performance issues.
• Experience with system-level problem solving involving both HW and SW components.
• Ability to interface confidently with cross-functional teams, technology vendors, and customers.
• Excellent English communication skills, written and spoken.
• Strong analytical thinking, structured problem solving, and documentation skills.
