Job Description
We are seeking a motivated Research Engineer to join our team working on novel wireless communication and sensing technologies. The role involves developing and testing compact RF systems integrated within flexible platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- (Primary) Develop and test low-power wireless communication systems (e.g., radio and short-range audio/data transmission).
- Design and optimize antennacircuit coupling and signal modulation/demodulation mechanisms.
- Build and characterize system prototypes capable of receiving and transmitting signals through flexible platforms
- (Preferred) Contribute to passive RFID-related projects
- Design and simulate antennas for commercial RFID + temperature sensor tags to ensure reliable data readout.
- Integrate the sensor tags with commercial RFID readers for wireless data acquisition and testing
- (Additional) Support R&D on wireless power transfer using compact or fiber-like antenna structures.
Qualifications
Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with RF circuit design, antenna design, or wireless system integration.
- Hands-on skills in PCB prototyping, impedance matching, and RF measurement.
- Familiarity with RF simulation tools (e.g., CST, HFSS, ADS, or similar).
- Strong experimental mindset and ability to work independently on system-level design
Preferred Skills
- Knowledge of passive RFID systems, communication protocols, and reader integration.
- Experience with low-power wireless systems (e.g., BLE, NFC, LoRa).
- Understanding of embedded systems or microcontroller-based data acquisition.
