Description

Hardware Design Engineer - GNSS RF and Digital Validation
 
Are you a passionate hardware engineer ready to build cutting-edge positioning solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds? Join a dynamic cross-functional team where you will design, validate, and bring next-generation GNSS products to life in a hands-on, highly collaborative environment.
 
What Makes This Role Great:
 
In this role, you will work directly at the intersection of RF, digital, and mechanical engineering, gaining hands-on exposure across multiple disciplines while taking ownership of test automation and hardware validation for high-impact GNSS products.
 
Key Exciting Responsibilities:
 
• Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to support RF design and characterize critical hardware components.
• Design and verify custom PCB boards and specialized test fixture assemblies.
• Spearhead automated design engineering validation tests using Python to optimize testing workflows.
• Execute end-to-end EVT, DVT, PVT, and RMA test procedures across multiple active product lines.
• Organize, analyze, and present key validation results to drive continuous product performance improvements.
 
Essential Skills & Experience:
 
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, with an emphasis on RF, Analog, or Communications preferred.
• 1+ years of experience with RF engineering (academic projects and internships count).
• Hands-on experience operating RF instruments such as VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, and general lab equipment.
• Proficiency using Python or similar languages for test automation and data analysis.
• Solid foundation in circuit theory and key RF metrics like gain, noise figure, intermodulation, and S-parameters.
• Strong practical skills working under a microscope, including manual surface mount soldering (0402 and 0201 parts).
 
Bonus Points For:
 
• Experience with Cadence CIS Schematic Capture and Allegro PCB Design.
• Familiarity with schematic layout and PCB design techniques.
• Strong self-starter mindset with excellent collaborative communication skills.
