Overview: Join our team as a Wireless System Characterization Engineer where you will play a pivotal role in integrating and characterizing wireless systems. Work with cutting-edge technologies to assess wireless performance, specifically focusing on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards. You will develop and execute test plans to ensure optimal throughput, signal strength, and power consumption, impacting the development and testing phases of emerging consumer electronics products, such as AR, VR, and Smart Glasses.
Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, focusing on wireless system integration, performance metrics, and power consumption.
• Conduct throughput testing in conducted setups and perform link quality measurements on-body (emerging AI-enabled wearable devices) to evaluate wireless performance.
• Utilize RF measurement equipment to assess signal strength and power consumption under varying wireless link use cases.
• Analyze lab measurement data and create reports to be used for re-design or optimization of wireless solutions in such devices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including hardware, software, and design—to ensure accurate characterization and seamless integration of wireless systems.
• Leverage Python and MATLAB to script and automate testing processes for efficient characterization of wireless technologies.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Proficiency in wireless technologies, specifically Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards.
• Intermediate experience with Python and MATLAB for scripting and system characterization tasks.
• Basic familiarity with RF measurement equipment and techniques for setting up lab test stations for wireless systems and testing signal strength and power consumption.
• Ability to develop and execute test plans, focusing on the integration and characterization of wireless systems.
• Experience with measuring and analyzing key performance metrics such as throughput (under different data traffic profiles), signal strength (RSSI, SNR), and power consumption.
• Ability to setup end-to-end wireless characterization stations, and addressing basic issues at RF level, wireless system/drivers, and OS/application running over the wireless links.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience with wireless system characterization in a development and testing environment.
• Familiarity with power consumption measurement techniques for varied wireless link use cases.
• Experience in executing on-body link quality measurements and interpreting the data for product development.
• Strong ability to innovate in scripting and automation processes to enhance testing efficiency.
