• Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with wireless architectures (radio front ends, antennas, amplifiers, RF switches, filters, couplers from 450 – 7125 MHz) and wireless networking (path loss/channel models, traffic generation).
• Design Tools: Willingness to learn or prior experience with simulation tools (ADS, CST, HFSS) and schematic/layout tools (e.g., Cadence).
• Hardware: Knowledge of digital/analog electronics and product development lifecycles.

Desired Skills/Qualifications/System Experience requirements: (“Nice to have Qualifications”)

• Knowledge of wireless technologies (WLAN, BT/BLE, LTE, 5G FR1, WPAN).
• Experience writing test plans and assisting with global certification processes.
• Experience working with cross‑functional groups (Radio Compliance, HW design).
• Ability to perform component rework (e.g., 0402 SMT) and use soldering stations.
• Ability to navigate and manipulate ECAD (PCB/Layout) and MCAD (.stp) files.

Role Responsibilities:

• Assisting with the bring‑up, simulation, and validation of RF/antenna designs.
• Testing wireless/RF subsystem performance against predefined quality metrics.
