Senior Engineer - RF & Wireless Validation

Job Description

How the team works: Systems Hardware Engineering group has openings for engineering talent with expertise in RF & Wireless validation/testing. We are looking for RF Test & Validation Engineers with hands on experience in Test/Validation of RF/Wireless Products for WLAN/BT/BLE/Zigbee standards. Candidate will be participating in all phases of product Validation like the FPGA Pre Silicon testing, Post Silicon IC Package /Module & Board level testing. They would be involved in conducting RF as well as Wireless Testing.

The Validation Team is the critical link between the Designers and the datasheet of the products. This team verifies that the product meets the performance requirements. In case of yes, the team generates a datasheet from the collected characterization results. In case of not, the Validation Team works with the Designers to identify the root cause and fix it. The team is responsible for the operation of the radio system and the corresponding domains of a wireless MCU, let it be analog or digital, peripheral or core, RF or baseband signaling, power amplifier or packet handler, oscillator or random pattern generator, any other transmitter or receiver function. This team is responsible for enabling the underlying HW for all our wireless solutions, including Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave or Proprietary.
