RF Transceiver Validation Engineer – WiFi & UWB | SoC

📡 Validate the Wireless Future — From Silicon to Signal

At Texas Instruments, our RF Connectivity group is building the next generation of WiFi and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceiver SoCs — the chips that will power connected devices, smart industry, and precision location systems worldwide. If you're an RF validation expert who thrives on system-level debug, RF measurements, and hands-on silicon validation, this is your opportunity.

🔎 About the Role

We are looking for a talented RF Transceiver Validation Engineer – WiFi & UWB | SoC to join our RF Transceiver Validation Group in Bangalore, India — part of TI's expanding RF Connectivity division.

You will work on cutting-edge RF Transceiver products (including MCU-integrated SoCs) for Wireless-LAN (WiFi) and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems, covering the full transceiver chain — from LNA, mixers, base-band filters, and high-speed ADCs on the receive side, to DAC, up-conversion mixers, and power amplifier stages on the transmit side, along with PLL/LO systems, calibration modules, and power management.

This is a high-ownership, technically enriching role with ample opportunities to file patents and become a recognized leader in your domain.

📌 Key Responsibilities

🔭 System-Level RF Understanding
Apply knowledge of transmit & receive chain operating principles
Work with system parameters such as PER/BER/SNR, EVM, and RMSEE
Understand modulation schemes and their impact on transceiver performance

🔬 RF Transceiver SoC Debug
Rapidly and systematically identify root causes across transceiver blocks
Debug power & biasing issues, register sequences, board-level issues, and process marginalities
Drive solutions independently — not just report problems

📏 RF Measurements
Execute and interpret receiver chain measurements: Noise Figure, Gain, P1dB, IIP2, IIP3, IQ gain/phase error, LO leakage, DC offsets
Perform TX chain, PLL, and reference clock measurements
Execute DC operating point measurements via test modes, voltage, and current consumption

🖥️ PCB Board Development
Develop PCB schematics and layouts for RF validation boards
Handle PCB material selection, stackup design, and design reviews
Work with 3rd party PCB service companies; proficiency in Altium and/or Cadence Allegro

⚙️ Test Automation & Data Analysis
Develop automated measurement flows with instrument interfacing
Process measured data across PVT corners and visualize results
Distinguish between IC vs. setup issues using statistical analysis

🔌 Interface Design & Programming
Design and program communication interfaces: SPI, UART, UCI

🛠️ Minimum Requirements

Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field
3–10 years of relevant RF validation or RF design experience
Strong proficiency in 2 or more of the key skill areas listed, particularly:
RF system-level understanding (transceiver chains, modulation, PER/BER/SNR)
RF SoC debug (root cause analysis, power/biasing, process marginalities)
RF measurements (NF, gain, linearity, IQ error, LO leakage, EVM)
Strong team player with deep engagement capability with RF design teams

🌟 Preferred Qualifications

PCB design experience with Altium or Cadence Allegro
Test automation skills using Python or equivalent scripting languages
Experience with SPI/UART/UCI interface design and programming
Exposure to calibration modules — AGC, PDET, gain, offset, IQMM
Familiarity with low-power design and complex power management
Strong analytical and statistical data interpretation skills
Passion for patent filing and technical innovation
