Embedded 5G/4G Cellular Physical Layer Data Path Signal Processing Firmware Engineer will join the silicon design group to develop and productize powerful cellular SoCs. This role focuses on implementing cellular physical layer algorithms on digital or vector signal processors while adhering to strict time, latency, memory, and energy constraints by interfacing with specialized cellular ASIC hardware. Key responsibilities include implementing 3GPP channels such as PDCCH and PUSCH, refining signal processing algorithms for efficient execution, and developing firmware architectures that optimize power and performance. The candidate will utilize C, C++, and Python to develop firmware, automation tools, and pre-silicon emulation systems. The work involves solving complex technical challenges in 4G/5G/6G multimode cellular firmware, including channel estimation, interference cancellation, and bit-exact validation of fixed-point firmware against algorithmic references within a high-speed communication subsystem environment.
