## About the role

We are looking for a Senior RF Engineer to join our hardware team. Working closely with our Head of RF, you will drive RF development, bring-up, and support from early prototyping through production validation.

## What they're looking for

- Deep expertise in Bluetooth Classic and BLE RF implementation
- Background in hearing aid, earbud, or ear-worn product development, with an understanding of the unique RF and form-factor constraints these products impose
- Strong RF simulation skills (ideally CST Studio) — you use these simulation tools to make informed design decisions before committing to hardware
- Expert-level electrical engineering skills: schematic capture, circuit analysis, component selection, and close collaboration with the electrical engineering team on PCB layout to minimize desense (Altium preferred)
- Hands-on prototyping and lab skills — comfortable with spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and the full RF bench toolkit
- Experience taking complex RF designs through the full product lifecycle: from architecture through validation and into production
