As a 5G/6G Modem Software Engineer on the Modem Technologies Software team, you will design, develop, and optimize modem firmware and software for LTE, 5G-Advanced, and early 6G research prototyping. You will work across L1, L2, and L3 protocol stack layers to implement 3GPP-compliant features, manage real-time scheduling, and develop resource management algorithms using custom scripting languages. The role involves developing real-time embedded software on the QuRT proprietary RTOS while collaborating with hardware teams on modem bring-up and performance optimization. You will utilize C/C++, knowledge of OFDM, MIMO, and digital signal processing to solve complex field issues and interoperability problems. Key technical requirements include experience with multi-threading, memory management in resource-constrained environments, and debugging tools like JTAG or Trace32 to ensure high-quality connectivity for mobile and IoT devices.
