$70,000 - $120,000 a year

Engagement type: Agency contractor (yellow badge) | Team: Device Connectivity – Wireless Design | Are you ready to be part of a leading global engineering design house specializing in the design and development of state-of-the-art embedded hardware, electronics, and electro-mechanics?

What we’re looking for:

• Highly motivated professionals

• Motivated RF / EMC (Desense) Design Engineer

• Professionals with ability to work both with in-house projects and on-site assignments at our customers’ locations

About the team

The role

As an RF/EMC Engineer, you will characterize, root-cause, and resolve radio desense and electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC) problems on consumer electronic products. You will connect concepts across EMC design, desense, antenna, wireless communication, and computational electromagnetics to solve complex, novel problems, working closely with antenna, RF, and SI/PI engineers to meet connectivity performance targets on program schedules. You must be responsive, flexible, detail-oriented, and comfortable spending significant time on the bench, able to succeed within an open, collaborative peer environment.

Key responsibilities

· Characterize, root-cause, and resolve desense, EMI, and EMC issues across product programs (Wi-Fi, BT/BLE, LTE/5G, GNSS, and other radios).

· Perform hands-on bench and lab work: prototype bring-up, instrumentation setup, near-field/conducted/radiated measurement, and debug.

· Apply EM concepts to solve desense, EMI, RF, antenna, and SI/PI problems in collaboration with antenna and RF engineers.

· Perform noise-source identification, coupling-path analysis, PSD measurement, and mitigation design (shielding, filtering, grounding, layout).

· Use EM simulation and modeling to predict and resolve interference before and during builds.

· Support DFM and high-volume manufacturing by ensuring desense/EMI robustness carries into production.

· Support sustaining and field-issue investigations related to desense and EMI.

· Help achieve regulatory and performance goals for radio and EMC compliance.

This position may require domestic and international travel.

Basic qualifications

· Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 3–5+ years of relevant experience, OR a Master's/PhD with 2+ years.

· Proven track record of solving desense, EMI, and/or EMC problems on consumer electronic products.

· Strong hands-on bench skills — comfortable owning lab measurement, instrumentation, and debug as a primary day-to-day focus.

· Strong understanding of EM concepts that help solve desense, EMI, RF, antenna, and SI/PI issues.

· Expert with EM simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, and ADS.

· Fluency in at least one programming/scripting language (e.g., Python, C, C++) for problem solving and data analysis.

· Demonstrated ability to work well within cross-functional teams (PD, Rel, SI/PI, EE).

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred qualifications

· PhD in Engineering, Technology, Science, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.

· Experience applying optimization or ML techniques (LP/MIP, statistics, machine learning, combinatorial optimization) to EM/wireless design.

· Experience with data mining on large datasets.

· Experience designing antennas.

· Exposure to wireless communication technologies such as LTE/5G, GPS/GNSS, and mmWave.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
