General Summary:

General Summary:

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what is possible to enable next-generation experiences and drive digital transformation for a smarter, connected future. As an RF Product and Test Engineer, you will develop characterization and test solutions for highly integrated RF transceiver ICs and modules across the product lifecycle, from characterization planning and first-silicon validation through commercialization and production support. You will analyze characterization and production data, troubleshoot failures, coordinate cross-functional teams, and help improve yield, test time, product quality, and retest performance.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Communications Engineering, or a related engineering field. • Relevant experience is a plus, and fresh graduates are welcome to apply.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Basic understanding of RF transceiver measurement techniques, such as noise figure, gain and power, ACLR, linearity, and phase noise. System-level knowledge is a plus. • Ability to operate laboratory test equipment, including power supplies, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power meters, and vector network analyzers. • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and logical reasoning skills. • General knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and willingness to learn test-development tools. • Basic knowledge of statistical analysis tools and techniques, quality processes, and reliability testing. • Strong communication and teamwork skills, with initiative, flexibility, and the ability to learn quickly and work effectively under pressure.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Develops characterization and test solutions for Qualcomm RF products, including characterization planning, first-silicon debugging, and process experiments. • Collaborates with Design, System Engineering, Customer Engineering, Quality Engineering, Foundry, Program Management, Yield, Reliability, Marketing, Sales, and Manufacturing teams to align priorities, track execution, and support RF products from development through commercialization and production. • Validates silicon, supports customer-sampling readiness, and implements production test solutions that improve yield, test time, and product quality. • Analyzes large characterization, test, and production datasets; interprets results; communicates insights; and identifies opportunities to optimize retest performance. • Applies technical knowledge, analytical skills, and logical reasoning to troubleshoot failures and identify effective characterization and test solutions. • Participates in project planning and, when needed, coordinates execution across teams to meet customer expectations and project schedules. • Learns quickly across multiple areas of RF characterization and test development and adapts to changing project needs. • Documents characterization plans, test results, technical findings, and project status clearly and accurately.
