- Design and develop novel calibration algorithms and techniques for complex phased array antenna systems, including element-level amplitude and phase correction, to ensure optimal beam-forming performance across all operating conditions.
- Perform end-to-end over-the-air (OTA) validation of phased array antenna systems, including beam pattern verification, EIRP, EVM, and sensitivity measurements, ensuring compliance with system-level specifications.
- Support factory production at scale by developing robust, repeatable calibration and test processes, troubleshooting yield issues, and driving continuous improvement to maintain throughput and quality on the production floor.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including antenna design, ASIC, software, and systems engineering — to debug and root-cause issues impacting phased array antenna performance, driving resolution from identification through implementation.
- Design, maintain, and operate CICD (compact indoor chamber/direct) test chambers, including calibration schedules, reference device tracking, and measurement uncertainty documentation.
- Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts for antenna characterization and calibration workflows, improving efficiency and repeatability of measurement processes.
- Generate and maintain technical reports, test procedures, and calibration documentation to support design reviews, certification, and production readiness milestones.
- Analyze antenna measurement data – including beam patterns, sidelobe levels, null depths, and polarization purity — to identify performance trends, anomalies, and root causes across development and production units.
- Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, Rust
- Experience with Linux/Unix
- Experience with RF measurement equipment, including: power meters, spectrum analyzers, vector signal generators, network analyzers, oscilloscopes
- Experience with coding/scripting in one or more languages (e.g., Python, C, C++, Java, Ruby, or PowerShell)
- BS in Electrical Engineering with relevant coursework in digital communication theory, digital signal processing, RF/Microwave Engineering, Antennas and Electromagnetic theory
- Experience in DSP techniques, digital modulation, radio architecture, line-up analysis, RF system design
- Experience with simulation tools such as SystemVue, ADS or LabView
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes
- Knowledge of multiple access systems including OFDMA, TDMA, and CDMA
- Knowledge of methods for statistical inference (e.g. regression, experimental design, significance testing)
- MS in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of work experience or PhD with 2+ years of experience
- Experience working with phased arrays, calibration and antenna measurement
- Experience with one of the mainstream antenna simulation tools (CST/HFSS)
