About The Position

The Staff Electrical Engineer, Wireless/RF/EMC, is a project-level technical leader responsible for the electrical and wireless technical outcomes of new product development and platform initiatives. The role leads the definition, architecture, integration, verification, and certification readiness of wireless and mixed-signal electrical systems, with particular emphasis on RF performance, antenna integration, wireless coexistence, signal and power integrity, and EMC/EMI risk. This engineer translates product and business needs into electrical and wireless technical strategies, aligns cross-functional teams on interfaces and technical risks, and drives evidence-based decisions from concept through production release. The position may serve as the Electrical Technical Lead or Functional Lead for a project, coordinating the work of multiple engineers and external partners without direct people-management responsibility. The role also develops reusable design practices, review methods, and technical guidance that improve quality and reduce recurring design and certification issues across projects.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
10+ years of experience developing electrical hardware products.
Demonstrated experience with wireless, RF, mixed-signal, or EMC-sensitive electronic systems.
Experience defining requirements, verification approaches, and technical documentation.
Experience with PCB design, electrical architecture, component selection, and system integration.
Experience identifying and resolving RF, EMC/EMI, SI, PI, or wireless coexistence issues.
Experience with RF and electrical test equipment and engineering analysis tools.
Experience supporting RF, EMC, or wireless certification testing and issue resolution.
Experience supporting products through design, validation, and release.
Ability to solve complex technical problems independently.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
