About the Role:

We are seeking a seasoned and driven Wireless Validation Engineer to lead end-to-end validation and performance testing of wireless-enabled systems. You will be at the forefront of developing and executing robust unit and system-level validation tests across multiple wireless standards and ensuring top-quality network performance.

This role combines lab-based experimentation with field-testing of mission-critical wireless systems integrated into vehicle and cloud environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and execute functional and performance test cases for 4G-LTE, 5G-NR, Wi-Fi, GNSS, and Ethernet networks

• Analyze wireless and IP behavior across in-house labs and third-party test environments

• Collaborate with firmware and system teams to ensure KPIs such as throughput, latency, jitter, and compliance are achieved

• Configure and program network test equipment including Keysight and Rohde & Schwarz platforms

• Create automation scripts and test assets using Python and TTCN

• Construct, maintain, and enhance RF and fixed network lab setups

• Troubleshoot network anomalies and perform root cause analysis on test failures

• Draft and deliver detailed Test Plans, Test Readiness Reviews, and performance reports

• Review supplier test reports and provide technical feedback

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related field

• 8+ years of hands-on validation experience in wireless or embedded network systems

• Deep knowledge of 3GPP standards (4G-LTE, 5G-NR), Wi-Fi, GNSS, and Ethernet protocols (IEEE 802.1AS, 802.11)

• Experience with PTCRB, GCF, and U.S. MNO field testing

• Familiarity with network analysis tools (QXDM, Wireshark)

• Proficient in scripting languages like Python and JavaScript

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's in Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications with 7+ years of relevant experience

• In-depth understanding of NR interface, SA/NSA modes, PHY/MAC, and RRC layers

• Prior exposure to automotive HIL and test assets

• Strong background in Wi-Fi/Cellular/GNSS coexistence testing

• Hands-on with Polarion, Jira, Confluence, and Ubuntu-based test environments

• Demonstrated leadership in driving validation strategy and quality metrics across cross-functional teams
