  • Role & seniority

    • RF Transceiver Validation Engineer – WiFi & UWB | SoC

    • Level: 3–10 years relevant experience (engineer level; seniority depends on years)

  • Stack/tools

    • RF measurement: Noise Figure, gain/linearity (P1dB, IIP2/IIP3), IQ gain/phase error, LO leakage, DC offsets; TX chain + PLL/reference clock measurements; PVT-based analysis

    • PCB/EDA: Altium and/or Cadence Allegro; RF validation board schematics/layout, stackup/material selection

    • Automation/programming: Instrument interfacing + measurement flow automation; Python (or equivalent scripting)

    • Interfaces: SPI, UART, UCI

  • Top 3 responsibilities

    • System-level RF understanding & validation planning: relate modulation + chain behavior to PER/BER/SNR/EVM/RMSEE

    • SoC debug & root-cause analysis: identify faults across TX/RX blocks (power/biasing, register sequences, board-level issues, process marginalities) and drive fixes

    • RF measurements & data analysis: execute/interpret NF, linearity, IQ/LO/DC error tests; run DC operating point via test modes; distinguish IC vs setup issues statistically

  • Must-have skills

    • Strong RF system knowledge of transceiver chains and performance metrics (PER/BER/SNR/EVM/RMSEE)

    • Hands-on RF SoC debug/root-cause capability (power/biasing/register/board/process)

    • Competence in RF measurements and analysis (NF, gain, linearity, IQ error, LO leakage, DC offsets)

    • Collaboration with RF design teams

Full Description

📡 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
