Having some background in automation or coding for analyzing data.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan, execute, and document RF and OTA reliability tests, including:
  • RF performance and sensitivity testing
  • Must be able to analyze data and determine whether signals are passing, failing, or showing abnormal behavior
  • Test various units and test stations to understand the root cause of failures, whether software- or hardware-related.
  • Chamber-based OTA testing
  • Stress and aging tests under various conditions

  • Ability to develop scripts or tools (e.g., Python or MATLAB) to automate data processing or test tasks.
  • Troubleshoot hardware, firmware, RF setups, and test equipment issues during execution.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to investigate failures and drive corrective actions.
  • Prepare clear test reports and summaries for engineering teams and leadership.
  • Continuous improvement of reliability test methods, RF/OTA test coverage, and data workflows.
  • Design and run long‑term reliability test campaigns under temperature, power cycling, and some other stress conditions.
  • Clean, process, and characterize data, support performing statistical analysis and trend identification.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience in reliability testing, RF/OTA testing, or hardware validation.
  • Hands‑on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum, analyzers, and signal generators, VNAs, power meters) and OTA chambers.
  • Experience with conducted station testing for RF characterization.
  • Ability to analyze, interpret, and summarize complex datasets.
  • Strong technical communication and documentation skills.
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Physics, or related technical field.
