We are looking for an Antenna Design Engineer to join our hardware team in San Francisco. This person will be working with a multidisciplinary team developing our future product development efforts.

What You Will Do

You will create high performing wearable products.
Design, simulate, and optimize antennas for low-power wearable devices, including multi-band multisystem solutions.
Perform electromagnetic simulations (e.g., CST, HFSS, others) and validate designs with bench and OTA measurements.
Build prototypes quickly and effectively to evaluate design concepts
Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams to integrate antennas into highly constrained form factors.
Conduct over-the-air (OTA) performance testing and troubleshooting in collaboration with other engineering teams.
Drive root cause analysis and design iteration for antenna performance issues in prototypes and production units.
Work with suppliers, manufacturing partners, and Oura manufacturing teams to ensure antenna performance is maintained throughout production.
Document design processes, results, and performance metrics for internal knowledge sharing and regulatory compliance.
Stay up to date on emerging materials, methods, and technologies in miniature antenna design.
Travel to support prototype builds in both Europe and Asia: ~5-20% of time yearly to Oulu, Finland

What you'll bring

10+ years' experience in antenna and RF design, preferably for compact consumer electronics, wearables, or IoT devices.
Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
Proficiency with electromagnetic simulation tools such as CST Microwave Studio, Ansys HFSS, or others.
Experience with antenna measurement tools (e.g., vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, radio communication testers, OTA chambers).
Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, antenna concepts, matching networks, and PCB layout considerations for miniaturized antennas.
Proven ability to collaborate across disciplines in a product development program and communicate technical concepts clearly.
Knowledge of industry standards and regulatory requirements: Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to wireless communication, such as those from the FCC, ETSI, or ITU.

Nice to have

Experience designing antennas for wearable or ultra-compact devices.
Familiarity with Bluetooth, BLE, NFC, Wireless charging and other multi-system antenna solutions and RF protocols
Knowledge also from RF front end design (Filters, switches, LNAs, PAs) besides antennas
Knowledge of SAR compliance and RF regulatory requirements.
Experience working with overseas manufacturing partners.
