"Research Engineer - Wireless, RF and Antenna Systems"

Job Title: Research Engineer - Wireless, RF and Antenna Systems

Posting Start Date: 28/10/2025

Job Description

We are seeking a motivated Research Engineer to join our team working on novel wireless communication and sensing technologies. The role involves developing and testing compact RF systems integrated within flexible platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

1. (Primary) Develop and test low-power wireless communication systems (e.g., radio and short-range audio/data transmission).
2. Design and optimize antenna–circuit coupling and signal modulation/demodulation mechanisms.
3. Build and characterize system prototypes capable of receiving and transmitting signals through flexible platforms
4. (Preferred) Contribute to passive RFID-related projects
5. Design and simulate antennas for commercial RFID + temperature sensor tags to ensure reliable data readout.
6. Integrate the sensor tags with commercial RFID readers for wireless data acquisition and testing
7. (Additional) Support R&D on wireless power transfer using compact or fiber-like antenna structures.

Qualifications

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with RF circuit design, antenna design, or wireless system integration.
• Hands-on skills in PCB prototyping, impedance matching, and RF measurement.
• Familiarity with RF simulation tools (e.g., CST, HFSS, ADS, or similar).
• Strong experimental mindset and ability to work independently on system-level design

Preferred Skills:

• Knowledge of passive RFID systems, communication protocols, and reader integration.
• Experience with low-power wireless systems (e.g., BLE, NFC, LoRa).
• Understanding of embedded systems or microcontroller-based data acquisition.
