- Design and develop antennas for new and existing products and projects
- Perform board bring up, hardware validation, and debugging
- Own RF performance, including testing, tuning, and optimisation in real world environments
- Manage production test development and EMC compliance activities
- Prototype and evaluate new designs and concepts
- Produce technical documentation such as schematics, BOMs, and test procedures
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and RF related issues across the product lifecycle
- Contribute to system architecture and overall product design decisions
- Collaborate with software teams to support system integration and hardware compatibility
- Liaise with international teams, including software development and support teams overseas
- Work closely with product management and contract manufacturers on development and productionSupport manufacturing, testing, and ongoing product improvement initiatives
