Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced QA Lab Lead to oversee quality assurance activities for our cutting-edge Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) radio products utilizing WiFi and mmWave-based technologies. The QA Lab Lead will manage the QA lab operations, lead a team of QA engineers and technicians, and ensure rigorous testing and validation of wireless communication products to meet high standards of performance, reliability, and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the QA lab team responsible for testing PTP and PTMP radio products based on WiFi (including WiFi 5/6/6E) and mmWave technologies (operating in 24 GHz to 71 GHz bands).
• Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive QA test plans, strategies, and procedures tailored to wireless radio products, including functional, performance, interoperability, and environmental testing.
• Oversee lab setup and maintenance of wireless test environments, including RF chambers, antenna arrays, and automated test equipment for mmWave and WiFi radios.
• Mentor and train QA team members on wireless protocols, test methodologies, and quality standards specific to PTP/PTMP and mmWave systems.
• Collaborate closely with R&D, product management, and manufacturing teams to ensure quality requirements are integrated throughout the product lifecycle.
• Monitor and report on QA metrics such as defect density, test coverage, and product reliability; provide actionable feedback to improve product quality and testing efficiency.
• Manage lab resources, including scheduling, equipment calibration, and procurement to support continuous testing operations.
• Lead root cause analysis and failure investigations for product defects and field issues related to wireless performance and compliance.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements relevant to wireless communication products.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in QA processes, automation, and test coverage to support high-volume production and rapid product iterations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or related technical field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in quality assurance or test engineering for wireless communication products, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
• Strong expertise in PTP and PTMP wireless systems, including WiFi (802.11ac/ax/ay) and mmWave technologies (24 GHz to 71 GHz spectrum). Past experience with testing PTP & PTMP based FWA products in WIFI Interop as well as TDMA/OFDMA mode will be considered a plus.
• Hands-on experience with wireless test equipment, RF test setups, and automated test frameworks.
• Deep understanding of wireless & IP Networking protocols, RF performance metrics, and interference mitigation techniques.
• Proven ability to develop and execute complex test plans for wireless hardware and firmware, along with strong skills in Linux/Shell/Python Scripting.
• Experience managing and mentoring QA teams, with excellent communication and leadership skills.
• Familiarity with test management tools (e.g., JIRA, Quality Center) and data analysis/reporting tools.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of regulatory standards for wireless devices (FCC, ETSI, etc.) is a plus.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with mmWave phased array antenna testing and integration.
• Background in software automation for wireless testing
• Familiarity with production test methodologies for high-volume 5/6GHz and mmWave device manufacturing.
• Understanding of IoT and fixed wireless access (FWA) applications.
