Location: Bengaluru
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: QA, Test & Release Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Debug the transceiver SoC by identifying issues and driving root-cause solutions (power/biasing, register sequence/values, board-level issues).
  • •Conduct RF, IF, and DC measurements including noise figure, gain, linearity (P1dB, IIP2, IIP3), IQ gain/phase error, LO leakage, and DC operating point via test mode.
  • •Develop RF PCB design by creating schematic/layout, selecting materials/stackup, reviewing changes, and collaborating with 3rd-party PCB service companies.
  • •Automate measurement flows by coding and interfacing instruments; process data across PVT corners and visualize results to separate IC and setup issues.
  • •Design and program interfaces such as SPI, UART, and UCI.

Key Requirements

  • •Bachelor’s degree (e.g., in electrical engineering).
  • •2+ years of experience with RF validation and debug of RF IPs.
  • •Understanding of RF systems and key instruments.
  • •Proficiency in 2+ areas including transceiver SoC debug, RF measurements, RF PCB board development, test automation/measurement interpretation, and interfaces.
  • •Strong team player engaged with the product development team, especially the radio design team.
