What You'll Do

• 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.
