Family Description
Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.
Subfamily Description
Analogue Hardware (AHA) comprises the specification, design, and implementation of analogue hardware. This covers small signal Radio Frequency (RF), power amplifiers, and RF filter parts of the radio products as well as sub module level verification and product unit level specification and integration.
Works as a RF engineer in a joint USA and Mexico hardware maintenance engineering team. Candidate must have excellent knowledge of RF circuit design and mastery of
using test and measurement equipment used in analogue HW design. Will work closely with USA based engineers with a heavy emphasis on testing and validation.
• Independently works within broad guidelines and uses best practices and knowledge of internal or external business issues.
• Works with substantial discretion and uses specialist knowledge, analytical skills, judgment and broad conceptual and practical experience to solve complex problems and to contribute to process improvements.
• Transfers concepts for professional direction of own organisational unit into actionable measures.
• Provides working leadership and training to less experienced personnel.
• May lead small projects with limited risks and resource requirements.
• Analyses, designs, develops and tests products / services / improvements / bug resolutions for integrated hardware / software systems as per customers' requirements.
• Resolves customer trouble tickets. Diagnoses complex problems / issues (EG hardware, software, combination) and provides resolution or recommend corrective actions.
• Plans technical requirements from customers’ needs.
• Develops SW / HW build-controlled productions releases (EG main and update releases, service packages, maintenance updates, and customer design engineering).
• Defines product hardware / software evolutions through the creation and release of hardware / software documentation, hardware / software change control management, supplier and customer notifications.
• Retains technical and design knowledge for assigned products and technologies and provides training to the lower support teams (Tier 2 and Tier 3).
• Applies and maintains quality standards. Participates in process and tools evolutions and improvements.
• Applies the SW Care process (especially emergency case handling) contributing when needed to the fastest problem restoration.
