Summary
Aobo Li is an antenna and RF engineer with roughly a decade of hands-on research and product experience designing antennas, RF/microwave circuits, and wireless power systems for leading consumer-technology platforms. He has played key roles at Apple, Meta, and Google developing cellular, Wi‑Fi, GPS, and AR/VR antenna systems—work that spans watch, tablet, phone and headset form factors. Combining a PhD-level background in applied electromagnetics with practical PCB/IC prototyping and lab characterization skills, he excels at turning advanced theory (metasurfaces, phased arrays) into manufacturable hardware. Known for diagnosing tricky desense and integration problems, he brings both simulation fluency and bench-test pragmatism. Based in San Diego, he blends industrial product experience with academic research, making him effective at bridging early-stage innovation and high-volume device engineering.
