TL;DR · PHY Systems Engineer, Mobility Control

As a PHY Systems Engineer – Mobility Control, you will join the Systems Engineering team to develop mobility control features for 5G and 6G wireless communication systems. Your daily responsibilities involve scoping mobility control procedures, identifying performance trade-offs, and designing innovative control procedures while analyzing cross-feature impacts between physical and upper layers. You will design algorithms that balance end-user experience with scalability and support hardware and software teams by defining test procedures and debug methodologies from design through commercialization. The role requires a deep understanding of 5G-NR standards, specifically RRC and PHY, along with knowledge of wireless communication systems. Preferred technical skills include proficiency in Matlab, C/C++, Javascript, or Python for simulation and automation, as well as experience with NR reference signal design, cell search, machine learning, and genAI tools to optimize work efficiency.

What you'll do

  • Scope mobility control procedures and design innovative solutions based on performance trade-offs.
  • Identify dependencies between physical and upper layers to optimize control concepts.
  • Perform cross-feature impact analysis to develop jointly optimized algorithms.
  • Design algorithms that account for end-user experience and system scalability.
  • Define test procedures and debug methodologies to support hardware and software development teams.
  • Analyze data and automate workflows using tools like Matlab, C/C++, or Python.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • Understanding of 5G-NR standards, specifically RRC and PHY layers.
  • Knowledge of Wireless Communication Systems.
  • Strong theoretical, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience with Matlab, C/C++, Javascript, and/or Python for simulation, automation, and data analysis.
  • Familiarity with NR reference signal design, cell search/measurement, and mobility behavior.
  • Familiarity with key RRC signaling flows between UE and network.
  • Ability to make design tradeoffs regarding power, performance, and complexity.
