Responsibilities:

• Support RF activities for NXP wireless MCU families, including wifi (5G/2.4G), Bluetooth LE, 802.15.4, including:
  • Define/review the RF specification/performance for new wireless MCUs.
  • Design/review the RF peripherals (matching, FEM, antenna) for in-house EVK or external customer HW.
  • Debug/fine-tune the RF subsystem to make sure the best RF performance achieved on both NXP EVK and customer HW.
  • Perform pre-test according to major regulations like FCC part 15, EN300328, SRRC….
  • Analyze/validate RF performance under complex/mixed RF use case, like coexistence, strong interference, crowded spectrum, and severe attenuation/reflection channel.
  • Co-work with other teams for RF issues in applications like UWB or BLE localization.
• Support HW design/debug/review activities for NXP wireless MCU, particularly around:
  • The memory subsystem if external flash/RAM is required.
  • Power supply subsystem (DC/DC or PMIC)
  • Low power system design and validation
• Develop test/demo SW (independently or co-work with SW team member) for internal and external projects.
• Develop application note or reference design for IoT/Industrial/Auto market.
• Interface to SW team or design team to communicate HW/RF problems or customer requirements for further function/performance improvement.
• Support competition analysis and other marketing activities.
• Support New Product Introduction process, and prepare necessary application note or other technical document
• Support competition analysis and other marketing activities.

Requirements:

• Solid RF knowledge and lab development/test experiences. Master degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication or Microwave disciplines.
• Solid knowledge/experience to measure and fine-tune the performance of wifi/BLE/802.15.4 RF system, like VSWR, noise figure/sensitivity, SNR, Tx power, linearity, EVM, co-channel and adjacent channel rejection.
• Good knowledge about antenna performance, measurement, or simulation. Good experience with ADS or other RF simulation SW is a strong plus.
• Familiar with test equipments for RF system. Good experience with MATLAB/Simulink Toolset and Python/LabView for test automation is also a strong plus.
• Good experience with Cadence Allegro or other EDA system.
• Prefer to have sound SW capability with C & python for embedded SW development and test.
• System knowledge/experience on BLE, Zigbee, Thread, Wifi, IPv6 protocol is welcomed.
• Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills, able to work independently, but also need good team spirit. Fast learning capability is also required
• Very good written and verbal communication skills in Chinese and English.
• Very good SW knowledge and experience with C/C++, Python, RTOS, embedded SW development.
