About the Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on RF Wireless Engineer to support the development, integration, and validation of next-generation connected consumer products, including Wi-Fi-enabled cameras, doorbells, and other IoT devices.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who may be earlier in their RF/wireless career but has strong technical fundamentals, enjoys working directly with hardware, and wants exposure to the full product development lifecycle.

You do not need to be a senior or principal-level RF engineer. The team is particularly interested in someone who is curious, proactive, enthusiastic, and comfortable taking ownership of technical problems and figuring out solutions.

This is not a purely software, QA, or protocol-testing position. The ideal candidate will bring a combination of Wi-Fi/wireless knowledge, hands-on hardware testing, RF validation, debugging, and hardware/firmware integration experience.


What You'll Do

  • Support the integration, bring-up, debugging, and validation of wireless hardware for connected IoT products.
  • Test and evaluate Wi-Fi connectivity and performance, including how reliably devices connect and communicate with other Wi-Fi devices.
  • Work hands-on with PCBAs, wireless modules, antennas, RF components, and embedded hardware.
  • Perform RF validation, characterization, and wireless performance testing.
  • Troubleshoot connectivity and performance issues at the hardware, firmware, and system level.
  • Assist with firmware-related hardware bring-up and use command-line tools or scripts during testing and debugging.
  • Investigate technical issues independently, identify root causes, and work with the broader engineering team to implement solutions.
  • Support RF areas such as impedance matching, transmission lines, S-parameters, RF component selection, and EMI/EMC troubleshooting, depending on experience.
  • Participate in antenna testing, tuning, and optimization; direct antenna design experience is highly desirable but not required.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineers.
  • Work with overseas engineering and ODM teams, which may occasionally require evening meetings.
  • Gain exposure to products from early development and integration through validation and production.


What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Approximately 2–5 years of relevant RF, wireless, hardware, firmware, validation, or systems integration experience; strong candidates with somewhat less experience may also be considered.
  • Hands-on experience with Wi-Fi, RF, wireless connectivity, or embedded wireless products.
  • Understanding of 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies such as a/b/g/n/ac/ax.
  • Exposure to Wi-Fi PHY, wireless performance testing, RF validation, or connectivity debugging.
  • Experience working directly with hardware/PCBAs, wireless modules, RF components, or embedded systems.
  • Ability to troubleshoot technical problems rather than simply execute predefined test cases.
  • Experience with hardware/firmware integration or bring-up is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with command-line tools, scripting, or test automation is beneficial.
  • Experience with cellular, IoT, Bluetooth, or other wireless technologies can be transferable if paired with strong hands-on hardware and debugging skills.


Especially Valuable Experience

You don't need to have everything below. The team is particularly interested in candidates with exposure to one or more of these areas:

  • Wi-Fi performance testing and validation
  • Wi-Fi PHY and MAC/PHY firmware or driver bring-up
  • RF circuit debugging
  • PCB/PCBA bring-up
  • Antenna design, testing, or tuning
  • Impedance matching and matching networks
  • Transmission lines and S-parameters
  • RF filters, switches, amplifiers, or front-end components
  • Spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, or other RF lab equipment
  • EMI/EMC troubleshooting
  • Embedded firmware debugging
  • Command-line scripting or test automation
  • Consumer electronics, connected devices, IoT, smartphones, wireless modules, or similar products


What Will Make Someone Successful

The team is not looking for the most senior RF engineer in the market. They're looking for someone who enjoys being in the lab and wants to become deeply involved in how the product works.

You should be someone who can be given a problem, think through what needs to be tested, get hands-on with the device, troubleshoot what isn't working, and take ownership of driving toward a solution.

Because this is a smaller, highly collaborative engineering environment, you'll have an opportunity to understand much more than one isolated component of the product and contribute across integration, development, bring-up, debugging, validation, and performance optimization.


Logistics

This is a 12-month W-2 assignment with potential for extension or conversion based on business needs and performance. The position requires working onsite in Carlsbad, California five days per week and offers $42–$48/hour W-2, depending on relevant experience. Candidates should also be comfortable occasionally collaborating with overseas teams during evening hours.

About OLIPOP

OLIPOP is not your average soda. It’s a better-for-you brand on a mission to make your gut as happy as your taste buds. With nostalgic flavors, functional ingredients, and serious momentum across retailers nationwide, OLIPOP is redefining what it means to crack open a cold one.

This is your chance to be part of a brand that people are genuinely excited about, one that’s growing fast and showing up everywhere.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Field Merchandiser to bring OLIPOP to life across Denver-area retail locations. This is a highly active, on-the-move role where no two days look the same.

If you enjoy being out in the field, take pride in creating eye-catching displays, and like the idea of representing a product you actually believe in, this role is for you.

You’ll play a direct role in how customers discover OLIPOP in stores. From perfectly stocked shelves to standout displays, your work will have a real impact on brand visibility and sales.

What You’ll Do

Execute daily merchandising activities across assigned retail locations following established “Look of Success” standards
Keep shelves fully stocked, rotated, and visually optimized to maximize product visibility and sales
Support key retail account initiatives and ensure compliance with distribution and display standards
Build and maintain both mandated and incremental in-store displays
Complete up to 15 store visits per day, following assigned routes and priorities
Accurately document store visits, execution metrics, and account insights using CRM and reporting tools
Identify opportunities to improve product placement, expand distribution, and elevate in-store execution
Maintain merchandising assets and collaborate with field sales teams to ensure consistent brand representation

What Success Looks Like

You’ll know you’re crushing it in this role by:

Consistently executing merchandising standards across all accounts
Reducing out-of-stock situations and keeping shelves full
Maintaining accurate, timely reporting and CRM updates
Increasing product visibility, display quality, and overall distribution

What You Bring

1+ year of merchandising, retail, field sales, or CPG experience (beverage or distributor experience strongly preferred)
Experience working with large-format retailers or natural channel retailers is a plus
Valid driver’s license and reliable, insured personal vehicle with a clean driving record
Willingness to travel up to ~30 miles within the Denver market for daily store visits
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., stand for extended periods, and stay active throughout the day
Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to work independently and manage a daily route

Bonus Points If You Have

Experience with tools like Slack, Repsly, or CRM platforms
Comfort working in fast-paced retail environments and coordinating with multiple store teams

Additional Requirements

Must be 18 years of age or older
Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) check

Why This Role Stands Out

Be part of a fast-growing, high-energy brand that people love
Get out from behind a desk and own your day in the field
Make a visible impact in stores every single day
Work with a product you’ll actually feel good about representing
