  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or a similar discipline
  • 6+ years of professional, relevant work experience in electronics development
  • Hands-on experience configuring/programming wireless test platforms (Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz) and testing/troubleshooting Automotive Ethernet products
  • Expertise in Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.1AS, 802.11), IP network protocols, and 3GPP 4G-LTE / 5G-NR network architecture
  • Experience with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Classic/LE protocol and PHY designs
  • Proficiency with lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, e-loads, VNAs, and spectrum analyzers
  • Experience with regulatory conformance testing and analyzing network diagnostics using tools like Wireshark and Qualcomm QXDM logs
  • Familiarity with Ethernet lab equipment (Ixia, Spirent) and associated software (IxNetwork, TTworkbench)

Nice to have:

  • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Engineering
  • Experience with team/club competitions (e.g., SAE, FIRST, DARPA)
  • Foundational knowledge of systems and networking (e.g., systems architecture, memory hierarchy, storage subsystems, routing)
  • Experience with specific protocols (PCIe, CAN, SPI, I2C, MDIO) and Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3x)
  • Familiarity with specific chipsets (e.g., Broadcom, Marvell) and signaling (NRZ and PAM-4)
