RF Architect Lead

RF Architecture Lead

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Define and lead the RF architecture for next-generation devices, ensuring best-in-class connectivity and regulatory readiness.

Own system-level RF performance across cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and other wireless technologies.

Establish antenna strategy, placement, and integration in partnership with mechanical and electrical engineering teams.

Drive RF design considerations early in the product lifecycle to influence device architecture and prevent late-stage constraints.

Partner closely with silicon vendors, antenna suppliers, and manufacturing partners to optimize performance.

Identify RF risks early and develop mitigation strategies before design lock.

Support bring-up, validation, OTA testing, and certification efforts with global carriers and regulatory bodies.

Help establish RF engineering processes and best practices.
