Descrizione del lavoro

HP IQ, HP’s AI innovation lab, seeks a Lead RF Systems & Desense Engineer to own RF architecture for wearable and AI‑connected products. You will drive RF integration across Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, NFC and other radios, and lead desense, coexistence and performance efforts across the lifecycle.

You’ll collaborate with antenna, EE, FW, ME and silicon teams, run CST/ADS simulations, review PCB layouts, and guide testing from bring‑up to OTA validation.

Competenze

• 10+ years developing RF systems for high‑volume consumer electronics, wearables or mobile products.
• Expertise in RF fundamentals: impedance matching, S‑parameters, link budgets, EVM, noise figure, linearity and receiver sensitivity.
• Deep expertise in RF desense analysis and mitigation.
• Strong knowledge of RF coexistence mechanisms and mitigation techniques.
• Expert understanding of Wi‑Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), Bluetooth Classic & LE, UWB and NFC.
• Hands‑on experience with RF front‑end design including PAs, LNAs, FEMs, filters, switches and matching networks.
• Expertise using CST Studio Suite and Keysight ADS.
• Hands‑on experience with VNA, spectrum analyzer, vector signal analyzer, signal generators and OTA chambers.
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC, PCB layout, grounding and shielding.

Mansioni

• Lead RF system architecture and integration for wearable and mobile platforms.
• Own RF desense investigations and mitigation across the product lifecycle.
• Define RF specifications, link budgets, validation plans and performance targets.
• Lead coexistence strategy for Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, NFC and other radios.
• Partner with antenna, EE, FW, ME and silicon vendors to optimize total wireless performance.
• Perform CST and ADS simulations for RF front‑end, coupling and matching optimization.
• Review PCB layouts for RF routing, grounding, shielding and isolation.
• Lead RF bring‑up, characterization, tuning and root‑cause analysis.
• Drive OTA and conducted validation including TRP, TIS, sensitivity, EVM, throughput and coexistence.
• Support FCC, CE, Wi‑Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, FiRa and NFC Forum certifications.
• Mentor engineers and establish RF design guidelines and best practices. Present technical recommendations to executive leadership.
