Senior Antenna Engineer

Job Description:

Our client is seeking a Antenna Engineer to support the design and development of next-generation wireless consumer products. This person will serve as the primary antenna subject matter expert and will be responsible for antenna design, RF system collaboration, testing, validation, troubleshooting, and production support.

The engineer will work across the full product lifecycle - from early product concept through launch and mass production. They will partner closely with product design, industrial design, electrical engineering, RF, firmware, security, operations, and external manufacturing partners to ensure the wireless system performs as expected within the final product design.

This role requires someone who is deeply technical in antenna design but also capable of thinking at the product/system level. The successful candidate should understand how antenna decisions impact the overall RF subsystem, product form factor, manufacturing readiness, regulatory requirements, and customer experience.
