Description
Job 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
This role requires an expert-level understanding of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth key performance indicators, including throughput, latency, and packet error rate, as well as the ability to contribute to end-to-end validation plans based on these metrics. Without a thorough command of PHY- and MAC-layer behavior. Network-side connectivity experience is valuable, especially in areas such as network test infrastructure provisioning. Immediate need is for deep PHY/MAC-layer expertise, encompassing everything from modulation schemes and channel estimation to link adaptation algorithms. 802.11 Bluetooth Audio streaming Wifi coding Someone with systems engineering test is more preferred than the QA people.
