Lead end-to-end integration and system architecture for Active Antenna Systems (AAS), defining array geometry, beamforming, verification, and industrialization. Drive cross-functional alignment across product design, verification, supply and NPI, own system documentation, optimize performance/cost/quality, and mentor RF and mechanical engineers to deliver compliant, manufacturable antenna products.
Join our Team
The Antena Chief Engineer is the technical authority and end-to-end integration owner for Active Antenna Systems, leading the product journey from concept through design, industrialization, verification, and lifecycle management.
In this role, you will drive system architecture and systemization, including array geometry, beamforming, and spatial radiation performance. You will align and lead multidisciplinary engineering functions-spanning array design, signal distribution, and mechanical development-while ensuring compliance with industry standards such as 3GPP and NGMN.
Working cross-functionally with Product Design, Systems & Technology, Product Management, Verification, NPI, and Supply, you will translate technical excellence into competitive advantage-delivering best-in-class performance, cost efficiency, quality, and time-to-market.
What you will do
• Lead cross-function integration between Product Design Departments to synthesize diverse subfunctions into cohesive, high-performing products (A+P, FDD AAS antenna units).• Guide architecture & design reviews through the Opportunity Analysis (OA) framework, RACI accountability, Technical Readiness Level breakdown, and statement of compliance.• Plan & oversee verification/validation: define tests for antenna unit verification and system verification; align with Launch Management & Verification Coordination.• Industrialization readiness: align design with manufacturing constraints, supply chain, and DFM practices; ensure smooth transition to NPI.• Technical leadership: act as the Chief Engineer-set technical direction, arbitrate design choices, and ensure interface integrity (mechanical/electrical).• System documentation: own creation and quality of product data sheets, block diagrams, and pattern files; maintain traceability from requirements to validation.• Performance, cost & quality optimization: evolve designs for competitiveness and scalability (variants via partner ecosystem).• Risk & issue management: identify bottlenecks across competencies and propose mitigation.• Stakeholder alignment: interface with Systems, Supply Product Management, Program/Project Management, and Verification to synchronize goals and deliverables.• Technical mentoring: support and upskill engineers across RF simulation, RF hardware, mechanical design, and signal distribution to strengthen execution.
