About The Role

HP IQ’s Wireless Technology Team works cross-functionally with electrical engineering, software, product design, industrial design, program management, and operations to deliver successful products to market. As a Senior Antenna Engineer, you will drive the product from conception to production. This includes simulations, prototyping, measurements (in the field and in the lab, both active and passive), writing antenna specifications and test plans, reviewing compliance lab reports, and leading efforts to resolve antenna-related challenges that arise.

What You Might Do

  • Architect and design high-performance antennas throughout the full product development cycle.
  • Drive EMI and RF desense mitigation through advanced simulations and testing to meet regulatory and performance requirements.
  • Partner with manufacturing teams to ensure robust, high-quality antenna system implementation.
  • Utilize industry-standard tools (XFDTD, HFSS, CST, etc.) for accurate simulation modeling; perform material characterization, prototype development, and anechoic chamber measurements (ETS).
  • Generate clear, data-driven reports and presentations to communicate findings and design decisions.
  • Innovate antenna solutions optimized for small form-factor devices.
  • Collaborate closely with internal cross-functional teams and external JDM/CM partners to successfully launch wireless products to market.

Essential Qualifications

  • 5 years of experience shipping high-volume consumer electronics products with multiple wireless communication technologies.
  • Deep expertise in antenna design and electromagnetics, with proven experience delivering antennas for consumer electronics and wearable devices.
  • Proficient in EM simulation tools (ANSYS HFSS, CST) and skilled in Matlab or equivalent platforms for data analysis and post-processing.
  • Hands-on experience with RF lab equipment, including 3D anechoic chambers, VNAs, and spectrum analyzers for antenna and RF subsystem validation.
  • Strong ability to balance cost, performance, and form factor trade-offs in antenna development for compact wearable designs.
  • Solid understanding of carrier certification processes and regulatory compliance (FCC, CE, etc.) to ensure product readiness for global markets.
  • Hands-on experience measuring system performance parameters such as sensitivity, EVM, S-parameters, emissions, stability, and output power.
  • Ability to travel to factories to support builds.

Preferred Skills

  • Passionate about working in highly creative, fast-paced, and collaborative teams alongside industrial designers, software engineers, and UX designers.
  • Experience with Python and ADS for RF simulation and test automation.
  • Experience with schematic capture and circuit board layout design tools.
  • Knowledge of PCB design and efficiency in using Cadence tools (CIS, Allegro).
  • Ability to drive tasks independently and communicate issues/root-cause analysis clearly.
  • Strong presentation skills with experience engaging senior leadership.
