responsibilities

Implement and maintain link budget and RF system models for key use cases (mobility, fixed, enterprise, gateway, etc.).

Run sensitivity and corner analyses to understand performance margins and drive design tradeoffs.
Help define RF system KPIs and integrate them into automated analysis/reporting pipelines.
Build and maintain simulation scripts and tooling (Python/Matlab, SystemVue/ADS, CST/HFSS) to support architecture reviews.
Partner with antenna, RFIC, and baseband teams to ensure models accurately reflect implementation constraints (e.g., quantization, phase/amplitude errors, calibration residuals).
Support test plan definition for lab/field campaigns that validate system models.
Analyze measured data, compare against predicted performance, and propose corrective actions or model updates.
Contribute to internal documentation, tooling guidelines, and “how-to” references for system modeling.

Export Control Requirement:

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
