TL;DR · DSP System Architect

As a DSP System Architect, you will join the team to develop specifications, architecture, and micro-architecture for digital signal processing and communications algorithms tailored for Robotics, UAV, and Automotive applications. Your daily responsibilities involve bit-exact C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink system modeling and simulation, running system level simulation suites of physical layer transceivers, and performing vector matching verification with RTL simulations. You will also define and document chip requirements, architecture, verification, and lab test plans while performing hands-on lab testing and debugging of ASICs. The role requires deep expertise in Digital Communication Theory and Digital Signal Processing algorithms, specifically regarding equalizers and timing recovery. You must be proficient in C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink to solve complex communication system challenges for high performance ASIC based products within the specified technical domains.

What you'll do

  • Develop specifications, architecture, and micro-architecture for DSP and communications algorithms in robotics, UAV, and automotive applications.
  • Create bit-exact system models and simulations using C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Run system-level simulation suites of physical layer transceivers.
  • Perform vector matching verification against RTL simulations.
  • Define and document chip requirements, architecture, verification, and lab test plans.
  • Conduct hands-on lab testing and debugging of ASICs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree with 8+ years experience, Master's with 6+ years, or PhD with 3+ years of related experience.
  • Expertise in Digital Communication Theory and Digital Signal Processing algorithms.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink for system modeling and simulation.
  • Experience in equalizers and timing recovery (preferred).
  • Experience architecting communications systems for high performance ASIC based products (preferred).
  • Hands-on skills in the lab for testing and debugging ASICs.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
