Job Summary
The contracted engineering service company in Shenzhen would help the team in Cupertino to coordinate and execute test plans at FXLH and BYD. The main activities they will assist in are SAR data collection and free-space/phantom OTA testing. They will ensure unit selection, device setup, test instrument setup and calibration, data accuracy, visualization and report their findings to the respective Apple DRI.
Job Description
The detailed job responsibilities for the initiatives that they will help support are as follows
SAR Data Collection
1.Coordinate the acquisition of mini build units
2. Facilitate SAR measurements at a cSAR station
3.Monitor fidelity of test and accuracy of collected data, ensure best practices are being followed by the CM IDL operators
4.Compile, process and report to DRIs to help make tuner table decisions
5.Measure FS TRP and efficiency of SAR tested units to ensure performance
6.Maintain and validate performance of the cSAR test station between builds
7.Help acquire SAR data for non-build related, design activities
8.Debug device and process as required
Free-Space and Phantom OTA Performance Testing
1.Help identify units across the wireless performance distribution (low, mean and high) from each build
2.Work with in-region RF and System EPMs regarding availability of units of interest
3.Ensure units get sent to an offline Zephyr station where units are to be tested for FS and in phantom grip TRP/efficiency performance
4. Monitor fidelity of test and accuracy of collected data, ensure best practices are being followed by the CM IDL operators
5. Make sure units get returned to line in a timely manner to avoid any build/allocation delays
6.Compile, process and visualize data across desired unit population and report results to respective DRIs
7. Validate the performance of the phantom fixture between builds
8.Help with bringup and validation of new test fixtures
9.Validate any new process changes and be responsible for training CM operators
10.Debug device and process as required
