Description
We are seeking a highly skilled RF Connectivity Validation Engineer to validate and optimize wireless performance
across multiple connectivity technologies including Wi-Fi (6/6E/7), Bluetooth (Classic/LE), UWB, and GNSS. The
ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in RF principles and hands-on experience with over-the-air (OTA)
testing, coexistence analysis, and system-level performance debugging. This role will work closely with hardware,
software, and system engineering teams to ensure robust wireless performance in complex product environments.
Key Responsibilities

• Define, plan, and execute comprehensive validation strategies for multi-radio systems, based on system
  
  

specifications and product use-cases.

• Develop regression and performance test plans that ensure coverage of critical KPIs such as RSSI, PER,
  
  

throughput, latency, roaming, and desense.

• Automate RF test workflows using scripting languages and lab tools to scale validation coverage across
  
  

platforms and software builds.

• Conduct characterization and debugging of wireless performance issues using diagnostic tools (e.g.,
  
  

spectrum analyzers, sniffer tools, TCP dump, Wireshark, Ellisys, QXDM).

• Monitor and analyze coexistence behavior between multiple wireless systems, and develop strategies to
  
  

mitigate interference and optimize performance.

• Drive root-cause analysis of RF-related issues, correlating hardware, firmware, and protocol-level data to
  
  

identify and resolve system bottlenecks.

• Work with internal and external teams (HW/SW vendors, CM/JDM/OEM partners) to ensure wireless KPIs
  
  

are met across design and production stages.

• Track project progress with clear validation metrics, log management, and documentation to support
  
  

readiness for key program milestones and certifications (FCC, CE, PTCRB, etc.).
Required Qualifications

• Solid understanding of RF fundamentals including impedance matching, antenna behavior, link budgets,
  
  

and desense characterization.

• Proven experience validating wireless technologies: Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), Bluetooth (Classic,
  
  

BLE), UWB (IEEE 802.15.4z), and GNSS.

• Proficiency in RF validation tools such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal generators, RF chambers, and
  
  

sniffer tools (Wireshark, Frontline, Ellisys).

• Strong scripting and automation skills in Python; familiarity with SQL, MATLAB, or other data analysis tools
  
  

is a plus.

• Experience with wireless chipset platforms (e.g., Qualcomm, Broadcom, Mediatek, NXP) and embedded
  
  

logging/debugging tools.

• Comfortable working on Linux-based systems and integrating with embedded platforms or Android-based
  
  

test devices.
Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with PHY/MAC layers of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and tools to interpret low-level logs (e.g., HCI
  
  

traces, TCPDump, chipset-specific debuggers).

• Background in OTA testing environments, including anechoic chambers, shield boxes, and mobile
  
  

automation test setups.

• Experience with wireless telemetry, edge AI integrations, or proximity sensing applications using
  
  

BLE/UWB/Wi-Fi.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
802.11
Bluetooth
Audio streaming
Wifi coding
Bluetooth: Access points
Wifi: Range testing, In house
Wifi: AR VR, WLAN - WIFI, In and out of Bluetooth (Protocols/layers/ etc.), 2-3 lines of BT - range, headsets, products.
Preferred Skills

• Practical knowledge of at least one Wireless Technology including WLAN, BT, GPS
• Understanding of Android frameworks and architecture
• Hands-on experience with bench level wireless testing, reference board or system level
• Should be able to write automation scripts
• Experience debugging RF SW and HW failures, identifying root-causes and recommending fixes
• Experience with protocol analyzers, log analyzers, sniffers
