Sr Systems Engineer - Greensboro, NC, United States
Originally posted 30 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves developing, modeling, and analyzing advanced RF communication systems for mobile and connected applications. You will contribute to current product development and shape technology and product roadmaps for 5G Advanced and emerging 6G architectures.
What you'll do
- Develop RF communication system models, simulations, and level plans for transmit and receive signal chains.
- Translate customer, platform, and system requirements into component-level and functional-block requirements.
- Analyze end-to-end system performance, including output power, efficiency, linearity, noise, sensitivity, dynamic range, thermal performance, and power consumption.
- Use MATLAB, SystemVue, and Excel to evaluate RF components within cellular and connected-device architectures.
- Guide the system-level integration of RF functional blocks, including Power Amplifiers, LNAs, acoustic filters, SOI switches, antenna-tuning solutions, and power-management devices.
- Correlate simulation results with laboratory measurements and product characterization data.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of relevant work experience.
- Experience with RF communication systems, including system-level modeling, simulation, analysis, or design.
- Understanding of RF transmit and receive architectures and key performance parameters.
- Experience with RF simulation or analysis tools such as MATLAB, SystemVue, ADS, VSS, or equivalent platforms.
- Ability to analyze complex technical problems and translate results into clear requirements and recommendations.
Nice to have
- Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
- Experience with cellular RF front-end architectures, mobile handset platforms, or connected-device systems.
- Knowledge of Power Amplifiers, LNAs, acoustic filters, RF switches, RF power management, Envelope Tracking, antenna tuning, or integrated front-end modules.
- Familiarity with MIMO, Carrier Aggregation, wideband modulation, linearization, or baseband predistortion.
- Experience using RF laboratory equipment, including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, power meters, and vector signal analyzers.
- Familiarity with cellular standards, industry requirements, and the evolution from 5G Advanced toward 6G.
