Regression Sr.Engineer/ Test Lead / Manager – 2G/4G/5G Radio Products

Regression Test Lead / Manager – 2G/4G/5G Radio Products

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership and Planning

• Lead and mentor the Regression team technically, guiding engineers on test design, debugging, and automation practices.
• Study the product roadmap, derive functional and system-level scenarios, and convert them into automated test cases.
• Develop and own complex test plans and strategies aligned with project scope and timelines; track execution and report status to stakeholders.
• Drive a strong sense of urgency and accountability to meet product delivery needs on time.

Test Automation and Frameworks

• Design, implement and maintain automation scripts for functional, regression and performance testing.
• Build and maintain automation frameworks using industry best practices and tools such as Unittest and Pytest.
• Automate Radio Conformance Test (RCT) and end-to-end (E2E) scenarios.
• Develop instrument drivers, validation frameworks and measurement applications in Python (and MATLAB) to improve coverage, repeatability and productivity.
• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines, and use Kubernetes-based environments for scalable test execution.
• Apply AI/ML techniques to improve test productivity, such as test generation, log analysis, failure triage, anomaly detection and coverage optimization.

RF and Radio Validation

• Design, implement and execute 3GPP Radio Conformance Testing (RCT) methodologies for next-generation RF SoC and radio platforms, covering test development, automation, data analysis and debug.
• Perform hands-on characterization of RF subsystems and signal chains, including PA, LNA, filters, CFR and DPD algorithms across multiple technologies and carrier configurations.
• Develop custom measurement techniques and validation workflows for key metrics: EVM, ACLR, receiver sensitivity, noise figure, spectral emissions and transmitter linearity.
• Use and automate Keysight or Rohde & Schwarz equipment, including signal generators and signal/spectrum analyzers.
• Evaluate, integrate and optimize advanced RF test equipment and commercial test solutions to improve accuracy and throughput.

Debug, Analysis and Bring-up

• Investigate and root-cause RF performance issues through lab measurements, statistical analysis, and cross-functional debugging with hardware, firmware and software teams.
• Drive silicon bring-up and system-level validation, identify performance gaps, and give actionable recommendations to design teams.
• Analyze large RF datasets to identify trends, anomalies and performance limits, and translate them into clear technical insights and design guidance.

Required Qualifications

Experience

• 18+ years of relevant experience in wireless/radio validation.
• Has technically led and/or mentored a team of 6+ engineers.
• Has developed a complex test plan and managed its end-to-end execution.

Technical Skills

• Strong coding skills in Python and shell scripting; working knowledge of C/C++ for developing test cases and scripts.
• Solid understanding of cellular wireless protocols (MAC/PHY), especially O-RAN, LTE or 5G.
• Knowledge of O-RAN, 5G or 4G technology.
• Expertise in using and automating Keysight or R&S RF equipment (signal generators, analyzers).
• Experience automating RCT and E2E scenarios.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerized test environments.
• Practical experience using AI in engineering and testing workflows (a must-have).

Behavioral Skills

• Able to work productively and independently.
• Strong team player with ownership and urgency.
• Clear communicator with the ability to report technical findings to both engineering and management audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• MATLAB experience for measurement and analysis.
• Exposure to silicon bring-up and RF SoC validation.
• Experience with certification and manufacturing test readiness.
• Background in statistical analysis of large RF datasets.
