This role involves translating 3GPP requirements into innovative concepts and algorithms, collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize system performance from initial concept through silicon validation. Key responsibilities include developing advanced DSP algorithms for efficient signal processing, conducting simulations using MATLAB, Python, or C++, and authoring detailed specifications for hardware and software implementation. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in RF receiver architectures, cellular standards, and a deep understanding of RF impairments and baseband interactions. Expert proficiency in Python or C++ is required, along with knowledge of AI/ML applications to enhance engineering workflows.

What you'll do

  • Translate 3GPP requirements into RX line-up concepts and specifications.
  • Develop innovative receiver component control algorithms to compensate for RF impairments.
  • Conduct simulations using MATLAB, Python, or C++ for performance analysis.
  • Lead hardware and software partitioning within transceiver/modem topology.
  • Author detailed specifications and build reference models for implementation teams.
  • Collaborate with baseband system engineering on optimal system partitioning.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of industry experience in cellular RF receiver architectures.
  • Expert knowledge of Cellular Radio/3GPP Standards (UMTS, LTE, 5G NR FR1/2).
  • Proficiency in Python or C++ and applying AI/ML to engineering workflows.
  • Deep understanding of DSP for wireless communication systems and hardware/software co-design.
  • Ability to translate system-level requirements into detailed specifications and reference models.
  • Experience conducting simulations and performance analysis using MATLAB, Python, or C++.
