About the role

RF compliance lead for Starlink wireless hardware, owning regulatory strategy and certification across US and international markets with a 50/50 focus on WiFi and cellular.

Responsibilities

  • Own RF regulatory strategy and certification for Starlink wireless hardware on a 50/50 WiFi and cellular mix across US and international markets
  • WiFi (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz): develop and own compliance strategy, test setups, and methods for typical WiFi products, including DFS where required and 6 GHz / AFC paths as those products come online
  • Cellular (5G, LTE, GPRS, 3GPP): develop and own compliance strategy for cellular hardware, including base stations and related devices, covering US licensed-service rules and international 3GPP / ETSI requirements
  • Apply core FCC and ETSI radio standards in day-to-day work — including FCC Part 15 for WiFi (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz, DFS) and FCC licensed-service rules for cellular; ETSI EN 300 328 (2.4 GHz), EN 301 893 (5 GHz), EN 303 687 (6 GHz WAS/RLAN), and EN 301 908 / 3GPP for cellular devices and base stations
  • Read RF designs (architecture, radio chains, antennas, filters, power tables, firmware limits) and turn standards into actionable design and test requirements
  • Plan and run RF compliance test campaigns with accredited labs — conducted and radiated, spurious, power, DFS, exposure (MPE/SAR) as applicable, and cellular / base-station conformance
  • Work directly with RF hardware, firmware, and software teams to implement the design or power-table changes required for certification
  • Validate and generate transmit power tables with RF design, software, and test labs
  • Audit labs and vendors so methods and results are consistent and defensible
  • Prepare and maintain technical files, test reports, and certification applications (FCC / ISED / RED and equivalent global filings)
  • Support global market access when Starlink adds bands, power levels, or new WiFi / cellular SKUs
  • Provide RF regulatory guidance to Product Compliance Engineers and RF design teams

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or another STEM discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in RF / wireless regulatory compliance and certification
  • Working knowledge of basic FCC and ETSI radio standards for WiFi and/or cellular
  • Demonstrated ability to follow an RF product from design → test → compliance (not test-only or paperwork-only)
