Job Title: RF Hardware Engineer Location: Thane, MH About the Role: Namaskaram! We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced RF Hardware Engineer to join our innovative hardware team. As an RF expert, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, development, testing, and validation of RF systems and components for our next-generation products. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including antenna, digital, and mechanical engineers to ensure high-performance, robust RF solutions. Key Responsibilities: Design and develop RF circuits including LNA, PA, mixers, filters, baluns, and matching networks. Perform RF simulations using tools like ADS, HFSS, CST, and EMPro. Schematic capture and review PCB layout for RF modules with attention to high-frequency signal integrity and EMC. Conduct RF performance tuning, calibration, and optimization for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE/5G, GNSS, and custom wireless systems. Execute lab testing, characterization, and validation using VNA, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and network analyzers. Collaborate with antenna and mechanical teams for RF integration, co-design, and mitigation of interference and defence issues. Ensure compliance with regulatory standards (FCC, CE, ETSI, etc.) and support certification testing. Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of RF-related issues during design, NPI, and field deployment stages. Document design specifications, test plans, reports, and design reviews.
