RF Transceiver Validation Engineer – WiFi & UWB | SoC

Job 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 💡 Why Texas Instruments? 🌱 Growth: Work on cutting-edge WiFi & UWB transceiver SoCs shaping the future of connectivity 🏆 Impact: Your validation work ensures performance and quality for millions of wireless devices globally 🤝 Culture: Collaborative, innovation-driven & technically enriching engineering environment 💰 Compensation: Attractive compensation package with long-term incentives 📚 Innovation: Ample opportunities to file patents and become a domain-recognized leader 🔬 Technology: Work on full RF transceiver chains — LNA, PLL, PA, ADC/DAC, Calibration & Power Management 📣 Ready to Lead RF Validation at TI Bangalore?
