We are seeking a skilled and experienced RF Calibration Engineer with hands-on expertise in Qualcomm cellular platform to lead and execute RF calibration activities including RFC card generation, QCN / XQCN handling, and RF tuning. The candidate will play a critical role in ensuring optimal RF performance across LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth subsystems.
Areas Of Responsibility
- Perform RF calibration for cellular platforms based on Qualcomm SoCs (e.g., QCM, QCS, SA2150, SA415M, SDX series, QCX series)
- Generate and update RFC (Radio Frequency Configuration) cards for factory and production use
- Handle QCN / XQCN backup, editing, and restoration for RF parameter tuning
- Conduct calibration procedures using Qualcomm toolchain : QPST, QXDM, QDART, QCAT, and QMSL
- Analyze and debug RF logs, NV configurations, and RF signal performance
- Coordinate with hardware and modem teams to optimize antenna and RF path
- Support EFS / NV management , RF provisioning, and board-level bring-up
- Automate repetitive tasks using Python / Perl scripts for efficiency in calibration and flashing
- Maintain documentation and traceability for RF performance and test results
