Connectivity / RF Engineer

About the Role

As a Connectivity / RF Engineer at Naveera, you'll own the wireless performance of our fleet-grade camera and telematics devices — LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS — from schematic and layout guidance to antenna design/tuning to lab + field validation. You'll make sure our devices stay connected in the real world (vehicles, urban canyons, rural coverage, high EMI environments) and help build a repeatable process for RF bring-up, certification readiness, and production stability.

Responsibilities

• Own RF/connectivity architecture for camera devices: LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and antenna strategy
• Guide schematic + PCB layout for RF sections: grounding, isolation, keepouts, matching networks, and coax/connector selection
• Design, select, and tune antennas (cellular/Wi-Fi/GNSS) for vehicle-mounted enclosures and cab/roof mounting constraints
• Run RF bring-up and debugging: VSWR/return loss, radiation patterns, throughput tests, sensitivity, and coexistence tuning
• Develop lab and field validation plans for connectivity performance (urban/rural, motion, heat, power events)
• Work with carriers/modem vendors on certification paths and module integrations (PTCRB, carrier approvals as needed)
• Support EMI/EMC and regulatory readiness (FCC/CE) as it affects RF performance and radiated emissions
• Partner with EE, Embedded Linux/Firmware, and Mechanical teams to resolve enclosure, cable, and interference issues

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of RF/connectivity engineering experience on production devices (IoT, automotive, consumer electronics)
• Hands-on experience with LTE and Wi-Fi system performance testing and RF debugging
• Understanding of antenna fundamentals and practical tuning (matching networks, ground plane effects, placement constraints)
• Experience guiding PCB RF layout and reviewing designs for RF best practices
• Comfort using RF lab tools (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power meter) and interpreting results
• Ability to document test setups, results, and design recommendations clearly for cross-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with vehicle-mounted devices and real-world RF issues (multipath, shielding, engine/alternator noise)
• GNSS performance optimization and jamming/interference mitigation experience
• Coexistence tuning across LTE/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and antenna isolation strategies
• Experience with certified cellular modules and carrier certification processes (PTCRB / operator approvals)
• EMI/EMC fundamentals and experience supporting pre-scan testing and mitigation designs
• Experience working with contract manufacturers on RF calibration, production tests, and yield consistency
