Job description
HireArt is helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company find a Wireless Validation Engineer to develop and execute comprehensive tests for vehicle connectivity systems.
In this role, you’ll validate mission-critical wireless and network interfaces—including 4G-LTE, 5G-NR, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet—to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance. You’ll collaborate with design engineers and external partners to define test coverage, analyze results, and support continuous system improvement.
The ideal candidate is highly technical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working hands-on with RF and network validation tools in a lab setting. You bring deep experience with automotive or embedded wireless systems, proficiency with test automation and analysis tools, and the ability to troubleshoot complex network behaviors.
As a Wireless Validation Engineer, you'll:
As a Wireless Validation Engineer, you'll:
- Plan, develop, and execute system and unit-level validation tests for wireless and Ethernet-connected devices.
- Build and maintain test infrastructure, including network test harnesses, simulators, and automated scripts (Python, TTCN).
- Conduct performance, environmental, and reliability tests using equipment such as oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and vendor tools (Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz).
- Validate network protocols (LTE/5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, IP) and collaborate with suppliers to investigate and resolve failures.
- Prepare detailed documentation, including test plans, results, and design reviews, and support regulatory and carrier certification (FCC, PTCRB/GCF, MNO).
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Telecommunications Engineering, or a similar discipline
- 6+ years of relevant experience in electronics or wireless system validation
- Proficiency with wireless test platforms (Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz) and Automotive Ethernet systems
- Strong understanding of 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet/IP protocols (IEEE 802.x, 3GPP standards)
- Skilled with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers) and network analysis tools (Wireshark, QXDM)
- Experience with regulatory or conformance testing
Bonus Qualifications:
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering
- Experience with systems/networking (architecture, routing, storage)
- Familiarity with chipsets (Broadcom, Marvell), signaling (NRZ, PAM-4), and protocols (PCIe, CAN, SPI, I2C)
- Certifications: CCNA, CCNP, or CCIE
- Experience with tools like Polarion, Jira, and Confluence
Benefits:
- Pre-tax commuter benefits
- Employer (HireArt) subsidized healthcare benefits (Eligibility begins on the first of the month following 60 days of service)
- Flexible Spending Account for healthcare-related costs
- HireArt covers all costs for short- and long-term disability and life insurance
- 401k package
Commitment: This is a full-time, ongoing contract position staffed via HireArt. This role is onsite and available to candidates local to the Foster City, CA area.
HireArt values diversity and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas or employ corp-to-corp.
