Description

  • Own the selection, validation, and integration of off-the-shelf wireless modules and antennas onto Apollo carrier boards.
  • Ensure power delivery networks can handle transient current demands from 5G and Wi-Fi power amplifiers without impacting the main compute rail.
  • Inform the physical routing of RF cables through the robot chassis.
  • Identify and eliminate system-level noise sources that affect wireless transmitter and receiver performance.
  • Diagnose and resolve customer-site connectivity issues using packet captures and RF spectrum traces.
  • Recommend wireless infrastructure and configuration to support fleet deployment and operation.
  • Author and execute hardware validation test plans for power ripple, host interface signal integrity, and receiver desense.
  • Define and execute RF performance test plans for antenna efficiency, return loss, and radiated performance in the assembled robot.
  • Create automated fleet and roaming test plans to simulate enterprise warehouse environments and evaluate throughput, latency, and roaming behavior.
  • Collaborate with firmware and platform teams to integrate, patch, and configure wireless drivers and OS-level wireless utilities.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Network Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 6+ years of professional engineering experience integrating off-the-shelf cellular and Wi-Fi modules into complex mobile platforms such as AMRs, autonomous vehicles, drones, or industrial IoT.
  • Experience working on and tuning wireless module firmware.
  • Experience writing Python and Bash scripts for automated hardware testing and module configuration via AT commands.
  • Deep understanding of Wi-Fi protocols (802.11ax/be) and roaming standards (802.11r/k/v).
  • Strong schematic capture and layout review skills, preferably in Altium, for controlled-impedance RF traces.
  • Hands-on experience with spectrum analyzers, VNAs, and packet sniffer tools such as Wireshark.
  • Experience analyzing packet captures and RF spectrum traces to troubleshoot connectivity issues is preferred.
  • Ability to perform physical work requirements including sitting for long periods, lifting up to 15 pounds, and communicating visually and verbally.

Benefits

  • Direct hire opportunity.
  • Equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination workplace policies.
  • Work on a cutting-edge humanoid robotics platform with real-world deployment impact.
  • Exposure to full-stack robotics challenges across hardware, firmware, and fleet connectivity.
