RF Characterization Engineer
Responsibilities
• Perform RF, microwave and antenna characterization for the company's hardware devices
• Design and build RF and Microwave characterization fixtures e.g. de-embedding structures for feed lines to small devices
• Develop custom phantoms emulating biological tissue effects impactful to devices
• Perform antenna gain measurements using anechoic chamber
• Work with product and UX teams design environment emulating for use cases of interest to evaluate antenna performance
• Wireless systems characterization and interpretation e.g. measuring and analyzing BER vs data rate, constellation diagrams.
• Design of experiments for and execution of electromagnetic-thermal characterization
Top 3 daily responsibilities
• Antenna (e.g. wearable BLE) and wireless power link characterization often using anechoic chamber
• Designing and prototyping de-embedding structures for characterization of electrically small antennas and wireless power links
• Designing characterization environments for wearable antennas e.g. sourcing or creating tissue phantoms, modeling obstacles and multipath based on input from user experience group
Must Have:
• BS in Electrical Engineering required, MS preferred.
• BS and 5+ years of relevant experience or MS and 2+ years of relevant experience
• Expertise and proficiency in using vector network analysers, spectrum analyzers and anechoic chambers
• Strong understanding of transmission line theory and practice, good experience in prototyping especially in feeds to small radiators
• Strong understanding of EM radiation fundamentals, performance characteristics of common antenna types and experience in antenna characterization
Nice to Have:
• Experience with wireless systems characterization i.e. end-to-end data e.g. measuring and analyzing BER vs data rate, constellation diagram
