• Highly motivated, self-driven, and passionate about Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and wireless technologies, with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
• Exceptional problem-solving, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills, with experience investigating complex Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence and performance issues
• Strong knowledge of 802.11 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wireless performance, and CoEx, with hands-on experience in OTA, RvR, mobility, and system-level validation
• Experience developing and maintaining automation and testing tools, including Python-based frameworks and integration with AQS, ATP, CI, or Jenkins environments
• Passionate about innovation and continuous improvement, with experience leveraging Generative AI or agentic tools to improve test coverage, log analysis, root-cause analysis, and wireless validation

Responsibilities

• Design, execute and maintain thorough test plans for 802.11 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 802.15 Thread, and Ultra Wideband (UWB) technologies
• Develop and execute CoEx test plans covering concurrent Wi-Fi + Bluetooth use cases, including A2DP, HFP/eSCO, BLE, AirPods, Apple Watch, and other accessories
• Validate 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz Wi-Fi performance under Bluetooth coexistence scenarios, including throughput, latency, packet loss, range, and connection stability
• Perform Range vs. Rate (RvR), OTA, mobility, and performance testing on iPhone/iPad across different APs, channels, bandwidths, MLO configurations, and RF conditions
• Analyze Wi-Fi/BT/RF/system logs and work cross-functionally with FW, driver, Bluetooth, and system teams to isolate and resolve CoEx issues
• Develop and maintain automated CoEx test suites for Pre-Sub/ATP, including automated traffic generation, Bluetooth connection setup, Wi-Fi configuration, performance measurement, and result analysis
• Integrate CoEx automation into CI/Jenkins pipelines to enable continuous regression testing and reduce manual execution
• Define CoEx KPIs and regression criteria for new iOS releases and track performance across software builds
