We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer or Staff Engineer, RF Hardware Design with a passion for cellular radio technology and a solid foundation in RF hardware design and debugging. This person will report to the RF Hardware Manager and is willing to work onsite in San Diego. The candidate must have hands-on lab experience and know how to operate RF test equipment to validate and troubleshoot designs. The ideal candidate is comfortable in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team environment and can creatively solve complex problems.
This position offers an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys directly impacting a smaller, dynamic team. If you prefer an environment where you can take ownership of projects and contribute significantly to the development process, this could be an ideal role for you.
Given the hands-on nature of the work, you'll develop a deep understanding of RF design and testing while collaborating with others in a highly technical environment. You'll also be able to broaden your expertise in wireless communications, RF PCB design, and RF hardware systems.
Key Responsibilities
