RF Antenna Engineer
Hark, San Jose +1
The role
As the RF antenna engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end wireless design for our first-generation consumer wearable/device. You aren't just placing components; you are architecting a complex ecosystem of Cellular, Wi-Fi, BT, GNSS, NFC, and UWB radios within an extremely tight physical envelope. Your mission is to deliver optimal wireless functionality for the users.
What you will do
- Architect the multi-radio systems, ensuring coexistence and optimal performance across a wide spectrum (sub-GHz to 8GHz+).
- Design and simulate custom, miniaturized antennas (LDS, FPC, or metal frame) that thrive in high-density environments.
- Partner with Industrial Design (ID) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) to find the "sweet spot" between aesthetic beauty and RF transparency.
- Develop RF strategies that prioritize ultra-low power consumption for battery-constrained performance.
- Own the product through EVT, DVT, and PVT phases, managing factory calibration, OTA testing, and global regulatory certifications (FCC/CE/PTCRB/GCF).
