Candidate will be part of a team that designs and implements hardware tests for Apple's newest products including iPhones, iPods and others. The candidate will be tasked with developing device test software flows, specifying test fixture requirements, conducting RF prototype validation tests, and developing and maintaining test software. With a strong system level understanding of RF component interactions, the candidate also forms a first level triage during early prototype builds to classify, debug, and root-cause issues. Individual will be responsible for generating, reviewing and presenting reports to upper and executive management chains. The candidate should be able to work with Antenna designers and RF Engineers to validate antennas suitable for wireless portable devices with good radiation performance, including TRP, TIS, SAR, and EMC.
Skill Requirements Candidate should have:
Bachelor's degree
Knowledge of RF lab equipment including: VNAs, power sensors, spectrum analyzers, vector signal generators, switch controllers
Strong statistical data analysis and modeling skills
Strong programming language hands on experience in Python
Ability to write and maintain Perl or PHP scripts
Knowledge of basic lab equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, protocol analyzers
Ability to analyze and draw actionable conclusions from large data sets
Energy and drive to thrive in a start-up like environment
Technical reporting, presentation and communications skills
Design and develop scalable test software applications, drivers, and automation frameworks used across RF hardware validation workflows on multiple platforms. Develop end-to-end device test software flows and define RF test fixture requirements to enable accurate, repeatable prototype and production-level testing. Build and maintain relational database solutions for structured test data ingestion, querying, and reporting across validation cycles. Develop tooling and scripts (Python/Perl/PHP) to automate test execution, data collection, triage classification, and bug tracking workflows.
