As a R&D/Product DVL Engineer II, you will be responsible for...

• Sustaining activities for the Antenna, RF, COAX cable and connector product lines.
• Executing critical engineering projects, including manufacturing transfers, sustaining, product extensions, cost reduction (VAVE), sustainability and rapid New Product Introduction.
• Representing engineering in customer meetings, project meetings and site visits, providing technical support and insights as needed.
• Executing RF laboratory testing according to standard procedures, making observations and interpreting findings.
• Advising and providing test and measurement services with accuracy and responsibility.
• Ensuring the upkeep of technical documentation, including test procedures, failure reports, validation data, and the preparation, presentation, and execution of test reports based on test results.
• Characterizing antenna performance by conducting electrical tests using a vector network analyzer and an anechoic chamber
• Supervising and training Interns for test and measurement tasks.
• Characterizing and providing advice on densense issues to meet OTA requirements.
• Reviewing datasheets and application notes, updating manufacturing test plans with MPDE, and preparing the necessary documentation for antenna certification.
• Updating network planning files in the system in various formats, including Planet, MSI, ATOLL, and VEX, into the system and provide customers with the updated files.
• Supporting the complete product life cycle (Design updates, Creation of product specifications, Prototyping, Product testing, Product qualification, Project Execution & Sustaining till product end of life)
• RF design simulations using industry-standard RF simulation tools to extract and analyze data in accordance with technical and performance requirements.
• Working closely with PM and other cross functions in getting the right and clear requirements to make engineering evaluation/proposal to update the design.
• Technical support for customers, sales, PM and plant team. Defining & coordinating with test lab for necessary qualification testing, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification for sustaining task e.g. integration antenna into customer device or system.
• Applying engineering is the best practice to reduce costs and sustain exiting products to meet customers’ cost targets.
• Executing corrective and preventive measures. This involves applying both immediate and enduring solutions to tackle recognized problems and avert their reoccurrence.
• Collaborating with design engineering teams to influence DFM practices for future products and integrate DFM input into redesigns for improved yield and quality.
