Having some background in automation or coding for analyzing data.

Key Responsibilities

Plan, execute, and document RF and OTA reliability tests.

Conduct RF performance and sensitivity testing.

Analyze test data to determine signal pass/fail/abnormal behavior.

Test various units and stations to root‑cause failures, whether software- or hardware‑related.

Perform chamber‑based OTA testing and stress/aging tests under various conditions.

Run conducted station testing (wired RF measurements) to characterize device performance at the RF front‑end and system level.

Develop scripts or tools (Python or MATLAB) to automate data processing or test tasks.

Troubleshoot hardware, firmware, RF setups, and test equipment issues during execution.

Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to investigate failures and drive corrective actions.

Prepare clear test reports and summaries for engineering teams and leadership.

Continuously improve reliability test methods, RF/OTA test coverage, and data workflows.

Design and run long‑term reliability test campaigns under temperature, power cycling, and other stress conditions.

Clean, process, and characterize data, supporting statistical analysis and trend identification.

Minimum Qualifications

2+ years of experience in reliability testing, RF/OTA testing, or hardware validation.

Hands‑on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNAs, power meters) and OTA chambers.

Experience with conducted station testing for RF characterization.

Ability to analyze, interpret, and summarize complex datasets.

Strong technical communication and documentation skills.

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or a related technical field.
