QA Engineer Radio
R&D
Kyiv
Full-time
We are looking for an experienced QA Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of advanced wireless communication systems.
This role involves testing embedded firmware, radio subsystems, and networking stacks running on microcontrollers and FPGA-based SoC platforms. You will work closely with Embedded, FPGA, RF, and Hardware engineers to validate real-time behavior, radio performance, and system robustness under real-world conditions.
This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy working with real hardware, RF equipment, protocol analysis, and structured validation of complex embedded systems.
Сore responsibilities
Develop and execute test plans for embedded and radio communication systems
Design validation strategies for PHY, MAC, and networking layers
Perform functional, regression, integration, and system-level testing
Validate real-time behavior under RTOS-based environments (FreeRTOS / CMSIS-RTOS)
Perform radio testing including:
Throughput and latency measurements
Packet loss and BER/PER testing
Jamming resilience and interference scenarios
Sensitivity and link budget validation
Work with RF test equipment and spectrum analyzers
Analyze logs and debug system-level issues
Reproduce and document defects with clear root-cause analysis
Collaborate closely with Embedded, FPGA and RF engineers
Maintain structured test documentation and traceability
Required Qualifications
3+ years of experience in QA or validation of embedded systems
Strong understanding of wireless communication fundamentals:
Modulation schemes (e.g., QPSK)
Basic RF concepts (SNR, EVM, BER, bandwidth, link budget)
Experience testing embedded firmware on real hardware
Experience with protocol analysis (TCP/IP, UDP, low-level wireless protocols)
Hands-on experience with lab measurement equipment
Experience with Python or similar scripting language for automation
Familiarity with Git and structured bug tracking systems
Strong analytical and documentation skills
Nice to Have
Experience testing custom PHY implementations (e.g., QPSK-based systems, spread spectrum)
Familiarity with mesh or low-power networking stacks
Experience with compliance and regulatory testing (ETSI / FCC)
RF Background
What We Offer
Work on advanced wireless and embedded systems
Exposure to real RF hardware and system-level validation
Challenging technical problems in real-world radio environments
Close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams
Competitive compensation based on experience
Flexible work environment (on-site Kyiv / hybrid / field)
Who Will Succeed in This Role
Engineers who enjoy structured problem-solving and root-cause analysis
Candidates comfortable working with hardware and lab equipment
Detail-oriented professionals who value documentation and reproducibility
Team players who can bridge development and system validation
Individuals who are passionate about wireless technologies and system reliability
