About the Role

Do you have a passion for taking on big challenges? Do you love pushing the limits of what's considered feasible? As part of our Wireless Hardware group, you'll be responsible for bringing groundbreaking wireless connectivity to the world. Together, our goal is to ensure nothing stands in the way of our customers' connections with their devices. Join us and help build world-renowned wireless systems that connect customers to their world like never before.

Join our Wireless Systems Design Validation Team, where we ensure cutting-edge wireless and PHY systems meet rigorous performance standards across critical parameters, including Power Accuracy, Spurs, EVM, Sensitivity, Desense, RF/Baseband Performance, MIMO, and Coexistence. Operating at the heart of silicon development, we drive test automation and validation methodologies that accelerate product development while maintaining exceptional quality. This role offers the opportunity to create test infrastructure and automation solutions that directly impact the success of next-generation wireless technologies.

Responsibilities

• Develop sophisticated automation frameworks and test infrastructure for validating wireless and PHY systems across RF and baseband domains, enabling comprehensive validation and regression testing throughout the silicon development lifecycle
• Work closely with PHY, MAC and RF design engineers to translate specifications into automated test strategies, identify validation gaps, and drive resolution of complex system issues
• Create equipment drivers, control interfaces and intelligent test sequences
• Analyze results to provide actionable insights and continuously improve test methodologies to meet the demanding requirements of next-generation wireless systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering; Master's or Ph.D. preferred
• Knowledge of wireless communication systems
• Deep understanding of key performance indicators and impairments in RF and baseband domains
• Hands-on experience testing wireless silicon in laboratory environments
• Proficiency with RF test equipment including signal analyzers, signal generators and spectrum analyzers
• Proven experience developing test automation, including equipment drivers, debug tools, automation scripts, and interfaces
• Programming skills in Python, Shell scripting, C++, or C#
• Experience with automation infrastructure development (traceability, repeatability) and related tools (Git, CI/CD, databases, reporting tools)

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors degree
