In short

Qualcomm is seeking a Senior RF System Level Test (SLT) Engineer in Taiwan to develop and validate production screening solutions for cellular modem and RF products. This role involves bringing up RF calibration and verification test content, driving yield and quality improvements, and collaborating with global engineering teams. The ideal candidate will have a degree in engineering and experience in RF product testing and cellular technologies.

Responsibilities

Define the RF SLT test strategy and coverage, including RF calibration, RF verification, and modem functional tests, working with RF systems, RF software, and validation teams.
Bring up and validate RF test content on SLT bench and automated platforms, from early silicon through high-volume manufacturing.
Develop, release, and maintain RF SLT test programs; set test limits and optimize test time and throughput.
Plan RF test hardware (callboxes, shielding boxes, splitters, handlers) and model capacity to support volume screening.
Analyze RF failure signatures, correlate SLT results with other test insertions, and drive root cause analysis to improve yield and reduce DPPM.
Work with automation and software teams to bring RF verification into handler-based automated testing.
Prepare technical reports, test plans, and status updates for stakeholders.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.
Working knowledge of cellular technologies (GSM / WCDMA / LTE / 5G NR FR1).
Hands-on experience with RF calibration (e.g., Tx/Rx gain, feedback-receiver, DPD, RSB/IQ calibration) and RF verification based on 3GPP test methods: max power, frequency error, EVM, OBW, SEM, ACLR, and receiver sensitivity.
Experience with RF test equipment such as radio communication testers/callboxes, spectrum/signal analyzers, RF shielding boxes, and RF splitters.
Experience with test sequencers, test automation, and handler-based production test deployment.
Programming/scripting in Python, C#, or C/C++.
Familiarity with source control (Git or equivalent).
Ability to debug using modem/RF logs, Android debugging tools, or JTAG.
Strong data analysis skills (yield, parametric distribution, correlation) and good English communication for working with globally distributed teams.

Desired Qualifications

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Communication Engineering, or related field.
3+ years of experience in RF product test, RF calibration/verification, or system-level test, preferably for cellular modem, RF transceiver, or mobile/automotive SoC products.
mmWave experience is a plus.
