The position is integral in the design, integration, test, and manufacturing of our radio products. Interacting with our hardware, software, integration, verification, and factory teams, you will lead the systemization of new radio products and support the implementation throughout the project. In addition, there is a strong ask for flexibility to be able to work hands on in the lab and help with radio hardware/software integration activities needed in the project and driving the execution of those activities across many radio design teams including hardware design and software design as well as other design teams outside of radio if applicable.

• Be part of an exciting journey starting with requirements derived from customer requests into a phase of study and requirement break-down
• Work with a group of hardworking developers in various systemization tasks
• Allocate and break-down requirements into lower level design blocks (Filter Unit, PA, receiver, transmit chain, Antenna)
• Perform analysis and final calculation of specifications (filter rejection, link budgets, power budgets, thermal analysis, interface definition)
• Provide support for radio integration, performance verification and test result analysis
• Analyze new product design and its performance requirements
• Troubleshoot radio solutions to identify design or performance shortcomings
• Prepare lab environment including both hardware and software components
• Define test coverage required for integration and describe how it will be performed
• Implement test and validation methods for efficient integration coverage and develop all calibration and performance optimization procedures
• Define robustness and stress test required for new product
• Analyze results and drive radio updates, perform error detection, and report findings
• Work collaboratively with the design teams to define integration activities needed for each radio project (eg board bring up, carrier activation, closed loop DPD, feature integration).

The skills you bring
To be successful in the role you must have:

• Minimum of 5 years' experience working directly with radio products (systemization, hardware design, integration, or test).
• B.Sc., M.Sc., or Ph.D. degree in a relevant area, or equivalent experience
