RF System Engineer

Job Title

RF System Engineer

Role Summary

Design and optimize RF front-end modules for cellular and Wi‑Fi standards (W‑CDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, LTE, LTE‑Advanced, NR 5G, Wi‑Fi). Work on hardware development, module-level characterization, and system-level performance tuning as part of a cross-functional engineering team.

Experience Level

Senior - requires 8+ years of experience in wireless RF engineering.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Design, coordinate, and conduct experiments for module performance characterization.
• Design, bring up, and troubleshoot RF measurement and module validation setups.
• Lead module debugging, tuning, and optimization efforts.
• Collect, analyze, and report design-of-experiment (DoE) findings.
• Contribute to development of advanced front-end module (FEM) architectures and semiconductor process interactions.

Requirements

Minimum required skills and experience:

• 8+ years of professional experience in wireless RF engineering.
• Proficiency using RF test equipment for characterization of power amplifiers (PAs).
• Proficiency in programming for data processing and analysis (examples: MATLAB, Python, C#).
• Knowledge of PAs, RF filters, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and antenna switch (ASW) components.
• Hands-on experience with Envelope Tracking (ET) systems, including PA and supply modulator behavior.
• Understanding of ET/APT behavior and linearity effects (AM‑AM / AM‑PM distortion).
• Hands-on experience with memory and memoryless digital predistortion (DPD) techniques.
• Strong documentation, communication, and the ability to work independently in fast-paced, project-oriented teams and meet deadlines.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required.
