Staff Antenna Design Engineer
Oura · San Francisco, CA · Posted 2 days ago
Design multi-band antennas for next-gen wearables that must fit highly constrained form factors, working hands-on from prototype through production with overseas manufacturing partners.
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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Paid sick leave and parental leave
