Test Engineer - RF performance

The RF Performance Test Engineer is responsible for verifying and validating the performance of RF products, ensuring compliance with industry standards (e.g., 3GPP) and Nokia-specific requirements. This role involves conducting tests at the unit and system levels, analyzing results, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to address any issues identified during testing.

• RF Performance Testing:
  • Execute RF performance tests using 3GPP test models and Nokia-specific configurations
  • Conduct tests under various environmental conditions
  • Validate RF parameters such as EVM, ACLR, OBUE, sensitivity, and frequency error.
• Test Planning and Execution:
  • Develop and review test plans and test cases for RF performance validation.
  • Set up and maintain test environments, including hardware and software configurations.
  • Ensure test coverage for all RF performance aspects, including conducted and over-the-air (OTA) testing.
• Fault Analysis and Debugging:
  • Analyze test results to identify performance issues and root causes.
  • Collaborate with hardware and software teams to resolve defects.
  • Document findings and propose corrective actions.
• Compliance and Certification:
  • Ensure RF products meet 3GPP, ETSI, FCC, and other relevant standards.
  • Support type approval processes for global markets (e.g., US, Canada, EU).
• Collaboration and Reporting:
  • Work closely with RF design, integration, and verification teams to align testing strategies.
  • Generate detailed test reports and summaries for stakeholders.
  • Participate in regular sync-up meetings to discuss progress and challenges.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Knowledge of RF principles, signal processing, and wireless communication standards.
• Experience with RF measurement equipment
• Familiarity with RF product specifications and testing methodologies.
• Ability to analyze complex data and identify trends or anomalies.
• Proficiency in debugging RF hardware and software issues.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
