About the role

  • Design, simulate, and optimize antennas for low-power wearable devices, including multi-band solutions.
  • Build prototypes quickly and effectively to evaluate design concepts
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams to integrate antennas into highly constrained form factors.
  • Perform electromagnetic simulations (e.g., HFSS, CST, FEKO) and validate designs with bench and OTA measurements.
  • Conduct over-the-air (OTA) performance testing and troubleshooting in collaboration with test engineering teams.
  • Drive root cause analysis and design iteration for antenna performance issues in prototypes and production units.
  • Work with suppliers, CM partners, and manufacturing teams to ensure antenna performance is maintained throughout production.
  • Document design processes, results, and performance metrics for internal knowledge sharing and regulatory compliance.
  • Stay up to date on emerging materials, methods, and technologies in miniature antenna design.
  • Travel to support prototype builds in both Asia, Europe, and North America: ~15-20% of time yearly

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
  • 7+ years experience in antenna design, preferably for compact consumer electronics, wearables or IoT devices.
  • Proficiency with electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, or FEKO.
  • Experience with antenna measurement tools (e.g., vector network analyzers, OTA chambers).
  • Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, matching networks, and PCB layout considerations for antennas.
  • Proven ability to collaborate across disciplines and communicate technical concepts clearly.
  • Knowledge of Industry Standards and Regulatory Requirements: Be familiar with industry standards and regulations related to wireless communication, such as those from the FCC, ETSI, or ITU.
Benefits
