Experience

1. Rf Design Engineer (R & d 5g Business)

   HFCL Limited

   Dec 2021 — Present · Bengaluru, IN

   Expert in hardware architecture and design, with strong proficiency in RF budget assessment and component selection. Performed detailed design calculations for power analysis, gain/loss budgeting. The process also involves reviewing RF transceiver chains for high-power base stations and low-power small cells.2. Performed comprehensive Gerber file reviews for both high-power base stations and low-power small cells, ensuring accuracy and compliance with design specifications. Played a pivotal role in optimizing the design of all variants of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), focusing on sourcing alternative components and reducing Bill of Materials (BOM) costs while maintaining performance standards.4. My experience includes testing and validating RF board-level designs for User Equipment(UE) and radio systems, ensuring compliance with 3GPP test cases. I am proficient inQualcomm tools such as QCAT, QSPR, QRCT, PCAT, and QXDM, and play a crucial rolein QA testing for FWA CPE at customer sites, capturing detailed logs and communicatingfindings to developers for timely resolution.5. I have conducted Auto Configuration Server (ACS) and TR69 testing for CPE in live networkenvironments, meticulously capturing logs and analysing issues for effective communicationwith development teams. I also oversee the technical acceptance of e-SIM test cases,ensuring all scenarios meet rigorous standards and facilitating thorough analysis andresolution of any technical issues.6. In addition to my technical expertise, I support HFCL in program management for FWA CPEprojects and 8T8R Macro Remote Units (RUs). I coordinate project execution and facilitatecommunication among stakeholders. My role involves engaging in detailed technicaldiscussions with component vendors, Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers,and development partners to ensure the production of high-quality products.
