TL;DR · Cellular System Engineer

As a Cellular System Engineer at this innovative tech company, you will join a dynamic team responsible for designing and validating cutting-edge cellular SoCs. Your role involves collaborating closely with various teams including SoC, PHY, RF HW, RF FW, and SW to ensure the successful pre- and post-silicon bring-up and validation of sophisticated transceiver architectures. You will map systems algorithms and requirements to hardware and firmware architecture, conduct simulation-based validation, and support productization efforts. The ideal candidate possesses a strong background in communication theory, signal processing, and experience with tools like Matlab, Python, and C/C++. Additionally, hands-on experience with AI/ML techniques and lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers is highly valued for tackling complex engineering challenges in the realm of 5G-NR/LTE wireless systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement end-to-end cellular system validation processes.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams for pre-silicon verification and validation.
  • Map systems algorithms and requirements to hardware and firmware architecture.
  • Conduct simulation and emulation based validation of control flows and algorithms.
  • Support post-silicon bring-up and productization of silicon components.
  • Apply AI/ML techniques on real-world data sets for engineering problems.

What we're looking for

  • Strong understanding of communication theory, signal processing, and cellular algorithms.
  • Experience with Matlab, Python, C/C++ for analysis and automation scripting.
  • Hands-on experience in pre- and post-silicon verification and validation.
  • Expertise in 5G-NR/LTE/UMTS physical layer and protocols.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across multiple engineering teams.
  • Strong analytical skills and proficiency in problem-solving.
