- Drive hiring, onboarding, mentoring, and performance development within the RF Desense & Coex function
- Build depth in RF system knowledge across the team and influence best practices beyond the immediate organization
RF Architecture & System Ownership
- Own RF desense and coexistence performance across assigned vehicle platforms and products
- Lead multi‑radio coexistence efforts across LTE/5G, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, GNSS, UWB, and V2X
- Define RF system budgets, performance targets, and mitigation strategies at the vehicle level
- Drive early identification of desense risks through architecture reviews, simulations, and design assessments
In‑House Design (IHD) & Agile Execution
- Support GM’s in‑house hardware design strategy by embedding RF expertise early in system architecture, PCB design, and integration activities
- Enable faster development cycles by connecting simulation, lab debug, and vehicle validation within agile execution models
- Establish RF design guidelines and reusable methodologies to accelerate in‑house development and reduce late‑stage issues
- Partner with software and systems teams to support evolving software‑defined vehicle architectures
- Partner with hardware, software, mechanical, thermal, EMI/EMC, and vehicle integration teams to resolve system trade‑offs
- Serve as the RF desense/coexistence technical lead in program reviews, risk assessments, and escalation forums
- Define RF requirements, review designs, and ensure mitigation effectiveness across the supply base
- Lead supplier technical reviews, issue resolution, and corrective action plans related to RF performance
Validation, Compliance & Debug Leadership
- Define and execute RF validation strategies including sensitivity, throughput, and coexistence testing
- Support EMC and regulatory compliance activities (FCC, CE, OEM standards, carrier certification)
- Lead complex desense debug efforts involving CPUs, power systems, displays, memory, and vehicle networks
- Establish structured debug methodologies and knowledge capture for reuse across programs
Required Qualifications
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 10+ years of RF engineering experience, including:
- 5+ years in RF desense and coexistence
- Demonstrated experience leading engineers or technical teams
- Strong expertise in RF interference mechanisms, mitigation techniques, and system‑level trade‑offs
- Experience with RF simulation tools (CST, HFSS, FEKO)
- Experience with RF test equipment (UXM, CMX, MT8000A, CMW500, OTA chambers)
- Proven ability to deliver RF solutions through production in a cross‑functional environment
Preferred Experience
- Automotive RF systems (infotainment, telematics, connected vehicle platforms)
- EMI/EMC integration and vehicle‑level validation
- Experience working in or supporting in‑house hardware design organizations
- Familiarity with agile or hybrid hardware‑software development models
